Our story

Losing a loved one is difficult, many of us drown in sadness, denial, helplessness, anger and disappointment. All these emotions and feelings are legitimate, but when you have lost a child, someone who was part of you, who you felt belonged to you, the person in whom you placed your dreams, to the point of living for them and for them, the pain is indescribable.

This was what I experienced in February 2022 when I tragically lost my oldest son. The pain is completely devastating, because with the absence of a child, dreams, expectations, and seeing their goals fulfilled also vanish, taking in consideration that we never expect them to leave before us.

And if we also have other children to take care of, it represents an additional challenge. Siblings are also grieving, so we have to learn to balance our own grief with the emotional strength and evenness needed to support them.

I began to share what made me feel good and I noticed that this had a positive impact on other parents who were going through the same situation. So, in search of a purpose we created “LIGHT OF HOPE FOUNDATION US” to help more and more families through such a hard time of losing a child.

Who we are

“LIGHT OF HOPE FOUNDATION US” is a non-profit foundation created in the spirit of love to offer emotional support to Hispanic parents who are going through the difficult situation of losing a child.

We offer grief support through psychological therapies, coaching sessions, group activities and more, which allows parents to obtain the necessary tools to integrate grief into their lives, in a conscious and constructive way, from the hand of people who have gone through the same situation, so they can create a change for themselves and others, from love, gratitude, value to life and to their present.

Be part of this movement and become a light of hope for all of us who have gone through the greatest pain we have ever felt: the pain of losing a child.
