For Grieving Moms After Infant Loss

For Grieving Moms After Infant Loss

The Finley Project® is committed to providing care for mothers who have experienced the unimaginable - the loss of an infant. Our devoted team provides a lifeline for mothers in the minutes, hours and days after infant loss through a 7-Part Holistic Program that supports each mother physically, emotionally and spiritually at no financial cost to them.

  • Aid

    Picking up the phone and making a call to plan her child’s funeral is a task most grieving mothers cannot fathom. The Finley Project® can provide AID for a mother who needs help making that phone call and organizing funeral arrangements.

  • Nourish

    Hot meals, a stocked refrigerator, food to feed a grieving mother and her family without having to do much is what a mother needs after infant loss. The Finley Project® can help provide NOURISHMENT to a mother and her family while she focuses on healing.

  • Cleanse

    While a mother grieves, it's all too common for the laundry to pile up, the dishes to remain dirty and the dust to build up around her home. The Finley Project® can provide house cleaning services to CLEANSE her home from the external chaos while she focuses on making sense of the internal one.

  • Restore

    While she grieves, a mother is likely to experience anxiety, sleepless nights, elevated blood pressure, lower levels of endorphins and happiness hormones, and a higher risk for infection. The Finley Project® can provide RESTORATION by coordinating massage therapy sessions during the healing process.

  • Fellowship

    Talking about losing a child can be difficult for a grieving mom. She needs other mothers who understand her pain and her unique journey in grief. The Finley Project® can help a mom find FELLOWSHIP through support groups in her area.

  • Counsel

    Overcome with grief, mothers experience severe emotional trauma where even simple day-to-day tasks can be stressful and overwhelming. Some mothers even lose the will to live. The Finley Project® can place mothers with a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who can provide COUNSEL while she grieves.

  • Support

    The grief journey can feel like a long and lonely road for a mother who has lost her baby, but it doesn't have to. The Finley Project® can provide SUPPORT from the moment a mother joins the program through a Volunteer Support Coordinator that will help her through the holistic program daily, monthly and yearly, for up to five years.

Support begins here

This year, the organization aims to support 90 grieving mothers nationwide while educating communities about the emotional and physical effects of infant loss to raise awareness and garner support.

Additionally, The Finley Project® advocates for OB Hospitalist Programs to enhance patient safety and outcomes, educates civic groups and hospitals, and expands its national Support Coordinator Program, welcoming 45 volunteer coordinators to walk alongside each mother on their healing journey.

  • “Thank you again so much for finding such an amazing counselor...

    Kelly has helped beyond my exceptions. I wasn’t able to leave the house, or hear a child cry. Day to day activities were so hard. My 12 sessions have reached an end, and I know I still have so much work to do with my grief... Kelly did recommend that I stay in therapy, because I have so much to work on. Thank you again for all your help. I cannot thank you enough.”

  • "Having a clean home is so nice. It is hard finding motivation to clean, but specifically.... in the nursery.

    One of the cleaning ladies, who has been cleaning since the 1st visit, offered to mop and dust in my baby Lincoln’s room today. It made my heart so happy! I got to show off his room and pictures. It made me burst with pride getting to talk about our Lincoln. She really went above and beyond! Walking inside my house from getting my daughter, it smelled so nice and fresh! After dreading Mother’s Day this last week leading up to it & the lack of motivation for anything, my house greatly suffered. Having one less thing to worry about is such a relief! Thank You Thank you. Love you, Noelle!”

  • “...Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your project!

    I have been touched in a special way!!! Every gesture, phone call, prayer, and thought is greatly appreciated! Although this happened and has changed my life forever, just being able to relax and have a moment to myself while being pampered was amazing! Anything I can do to help others who are in our shoes, just let me know!"
