Join me in Celebrating Children Gone Too Soon
It brings me joy when I have the opportunity to help bereaved parents share their stories. I believe sharing our experiences and the lessons we have learned is a critical part of being human. And being a part of a community.
This is why I am honoured to help celebrate babies gone too soon. The commemoration page is called Celebrating Sweeties. This is a place where lives lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, early infant loss – and any kind of loss of children – can be openly shared and remembered. I welcome families to contribute their children that died at any age, for any reason. Every child needs to be celebrated.
Celebrating Sweeties is a safe place where any image of any baby or older child is welcomed. And if you don’t have a picture, a name or even a nickname is good too. Sometimes is is healing to share ourselves openly like this. Vulnerability is so important. When I stopped pretending I was okay after my son died, I was actually able to “be real.” That realness helped me heal and bring Zachary with me forward into my life, in a healthy way.
It is with both joy and sadness that I want to share that we have new Sweeties to celebrate. I am sad that their lives were cut short, but also grateful for their lives in the first place.
Let me introduce you to some very important people:
If you would like to add your Sweetie to the celebration page, please email me (info@alexismariechute.com) your child’s name, birth date (and death date if this is different), and a photograph if you have one. I will do my best to add your child to the Celebrating Sweeties page within a few business days.
Thank you for reading Wanted Chosen Planned. I hope this can be a safe place for you at whatever stage you are at on your journey. I hope this can be a place of joy amidst sadness, love in the face of fear, and strength in numbers, despite the reason we have come together in the first place.
What is your story?
I welcome an email anytime (info@alexismariechute.com). If you need a listening ear, please reach out. Also, Wanted Chosen Planned is a place I encourage you to share your story.

– Alexis Marie
