Our Why
“Grief is just love with no place to go.”
#GriffinStrong was created in honor of our son, Griffin — a baby whose quiet strength continues to shape our lives and the lives of others. Though his time here was heartbreakingly brief, his presence was powerful. His story is one of love, resilience, and the kind of strength that doesn’t need to be loud to be life-changing.
We wanted to find a way to carry Griffin’s legacy into the world — to let his strength ripple outward through acts of compassion, and to help others who are navigating loss, heartbreak, or uncertainty know they are not alone.
-
Rooted in Griffin’s strength, #GriffinStrong exists to remind others they are not alone—and to carry his legacy forward through small acts of kindness and connection.
We’re not a nonprofit, a therapy group, or a foundation. We’re parents, grieving and loving, trying to make something meaningful out of the unimaginable.
-
When we talk about quiet resilience, we’re talking about the kind of strength Griffin showed — the strength that lives in small moments: holding on, showing up, choosing kindness, and carrying on even when your heart is breaking.
It’s the strength in loss parents who get out of bed and keep going.
It’s in every act of care, every sticker placed, every book shared.
It’s in the belief that connection matters — even when words fall short.That’s the heart of #GriffinStrong.
-
We hope this space becomes a gentle companion for others on difficult journeys — whether you’ve experienced loss, are walking through a NICU/PICU stay, or simply want to be a little more kind in a world that can feel unbearably hard.
You are not alone.
Your story matters.
And sometimes, the smallest lives leave the biggest marks.
