Honoring Grief, Celebrating Love: Reflections on the 2025 Bubble Release of Love & Remembrance

On October 11, 2025, families from all walks of life gathered at our 1st Annual Bubble Release of Love & Remembrance—a sacred space created to honor the lives of babies gone too soon and support those navigating the painful journey of losing a child.

It was a day filled with beauty, vulnerability, and healing. From heartfelt hugs to shared tears, from joyful play in the game truck to the serene moments of our ZenZee Wellness yoga lounge, every part of the day was a reminder that grief and joy can coexist. We remember. We release. We rise.

Why We Release Bubbles

Each bubble released into the sky represented a name, a memory, a heartbeat that will never be forgotten. For many of us, these bubbles carried the weight of unsaid goodbyes and the lightness of unconditional love. They rose as symbols of hope, resilience, and community.

As the bubbles floated into the sky, they reminded us that grief is not linear, nor is it something to move past. It’s something we carry—with love.

Grief Has Stages—And So Does Healing

At United By Loss Foundation, we know that grief takes many forms. Whether you’re navigating denial, anger, bargaining, depression, or acceptance, your emotions are valid. The stages of grief don’t unfold neatly, and they don’t follow a schedule. Some days we may find peace. Others, we may feel undone. And that’s okay.

To support families beyond the Bubble Release, we’re excited to offer a free resource:

“The Stages of Grief” Trifold Brochure

This downloadable guide gently walks you through each stage of grief, offering:

• Gentle tips for navigating hard days

• Encouragement for moments of isolation

• Resources and affirmations for every stage

We Are With You—Always

Whether you attended this year’s event or weren’t able to join us, we invite you to stay connected. We’re building a year-round community of compassion—offering virtual support groups, monthly healing events, and ongoing opportunities to honor the lives of our children.

If you’ve experienced pregnancy, infant, or the loss of a child, you are not alone. We see you. We honor your story. And we walk beside you.

Thank you to every volunteer, board member, sponsor, and attendee who made the 2025 Bubble Release so powerful. Let’s continue to grieve, grow, and uplift—together.
