Grief is hard. It is unpredictable, isolating, and deeply personal. When loss enters your life, it doesn’t just touch your heart—it reshapes your entire world. For me, losing my son left a silence I could not escape. The phone call that changed my life still echoes, and the milestones he should have celebrated remain etched in my heart.
This is the reality of grief: it doesn’t follow a neat timeline, and it doesn’t simply fade away. That’s why grief support is so critical. We need reminders that we are not alone, and that our loved ones will never be forgotten.
Out of my own heartbreak, The Memory Box was created. I realized that if I could not put my pain down, I needed to put it to work. Rather than letting grief consume me, I chose to transform it into purpose.
The Memory Box exists to provide ongoing grief support to families during the most difficult year of their lives. With carefully curated memorial gifts delivered throughout the year, each package whispers: you are remembered, you are supported, and your loved one’s legacy lives on.
Supporting others has also been a path to my own healing. There is something profoundly restorative about turning sorrow into service. When families receive The Memory Box, they are not just getting a gift—they are receiving presence, comfort, and acknowledgment at moments when the rest of the world has often moved on.
This type of grief support reminds us that we do not walk alone. By walking together, grief becomes lighter, and hope begins to find its place alongside the pain.
Grief will always be hard. But through grief support, we can honor love while carrying loss. The Memory Box was born from pain, but it continues as a legacy of comfort, memory, and healing for others.

Grief is one of life’s hardest journeys. It can arrive suddenly or slowly, but it always reshapes the world of the person who carries it.
July quietly holds a sacred space—National Bereaved Parents Month. It’s not a holiday, but for millions of parents, it whispers, “I see you.” At The Memory Box, we honor the love that didn’t end with death and recognize the strength it takes to keep going. Our founder, Kelly Edmondson, created this sanctuary after the sudden loss of her son, Darius. This July, we invite you to pause and remember with us.
