Our Story
Hi I'm Tayler,
I am a mom to a beautiful little girl and I am a widow.
On May 3, 2022 my husband Wes passed away after a long journey with a rare disease. At the time I was 29 years old and our daughter was a few months away from turning 2 years old.
Our world had crumbled right in front of us. Without a second to catch our breath, we had no choice but to start rebuilding our life.
I have to be honest when I say it wasn't easy and at times, I didn't think we would ever see our light again, but slowly with every piece we picked up we have built a pretty amazing life together.
Grief will be something I always carry with me, but learning how to manage and heal my grief has allowed me to live my life with such joy and has given me the freedom to embrace everything this world has for me.
I want to share everything I have learned to help give you some peace in your life.

How the Suncatchers Came To Be
During one of our afternoon chats, I asked Wes what would be one thing that would make him feel more connected to Aubrey since they were physically apart. After a few minutes he told me he would love to have a beautiful suncatcher hanging in the window. Something that he could look at often and be reminded of her. Aubrey loved and still loves rainbows, so the colourful suncatcher would be the perfect way to remind Wes of her. As we talked, that idea snowballed into a bigger idea. We talked about how we could make them for others separated in hospital so they could be connected to their loved ones. We went back and forth adding detail after detail. Before we knew it, we had come up with another project that we could add to our list.
After that conversation, I had Aubrey paint a few dollar store suncatchers that hung in Wes’s window so that he could be reminded of her. At the time I didn’t realize that our suncatcher idea would become something more.

Child Grief Resources
View ResourcesNavigating a child's grief can be overwhelming, scary and confusing. Watching your child suffer and not knowing how to help is the worst feeling a parent/guardian can go through. After dealing with my daughter’s grief with limited support and watching her suffer as she tried to make sense of the world around her, I knew more support needed to be available for other children experiencing the same thing. That’s why I have created grief resources for parents and guardians to help them begin to navigate their child’s grief. These resources provide information about children’s grief and ways to help children navigate their grief journey. Using my early childhood education background and social and emotional regulation background, I have created informative resources for adults and fun activities for children. This road is scary, but you don’t have to face it alone.

Adult Grief Resources
View ResourcesLosing someone you love is one of the worst feelings anyone can face. Your world crumbles to the ground and you are expected to pick it all back up and
rebuild it on your own. No one gives you a map on how to navigate your grief. You
are thrown to the wolves and expected to survive. For some, they can manage on their own, but for others it is next to impossible. After Wes died, I faced a very difficult road, my grief was very messy and at times caused me so much pain. After meeting many people who were facing similar grief journey’s as
myself, I knew I wanted to create a place where people could find support. That’s why I have created grief resources for adults. These resources help adults learn about grief, how to begin to navigate their grief and learn ways to start moving forward. Navigating down this grief road is difficult, but it doesn’t have to be done alone. -
Meditation Videos
Grief is a messy, unpredictable, exhausting journey. The highs and lows come in without warning, causing complete destruction in your life. The overload of emotions that fill your body and the continuous thoughts that play on repeat in your mind are like a full-time job. Your body is running on fumes but life still needs you to show up. Regulating the body is so important when dealing with grief. Giving your body even just 10 minutes to regulate is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. That's why I have created these meditation videos. These meditation videos are here to help support you on your grief journey and allow you to take some time for yourself. There are meditations for gratitude, healing and letting go, as well as the adult and child I am affirmations. We have a meditation video for everyone.
