In Honor of Eden: Supporting The TEARS Foundation

Sweet Like Eden was created out of love, loss, and the hope of finding light in the darkest places. Our daughter, Eden, was born into Heaven in December of 2024. Navigating the grief of losing a child is something no parent should ever have to face — and yet, so many do.

One of the most unexpected burdens families face after the loss of a baby is the financial cost of memorial and funeral services. This heartbreaking reality is what led us to partner with The TEARS Foundation.

We're committed to donating 5% of every purchase to The TEARS Foundation because they walk alongside grieving families with practical and emotional support. They help cover funeral expenses for babies and children gone too soon and offer grief counseling resources to help families heal.

Their mission speaks directly to our heart, and supporting them is our way of honoring Eden, and standing with others who carry the same heart-breaking weight.

About The TEARS Foundation

The TEARS Foundation is a nonprofit organization that offers compassionate assistance to families who have experienced the death of a child. Their services include:

  • Financial help for funeral and burial costs

  • Peer-based grief support and counseling resources

  • Community remembrance events to help families feel less alone

  • Support programs for loss during pregnancy, stillbirth, infant, and child loss

How You’re Helping:

When you purchase a candle from Sweet Like Eden, you’re helping more than just a small business — you’re helping grieving families receive care, dignity, and support in their darkest moments.

Thanks to your orders, we’re able to give 5% of every purchase to The TEARS Foundation. That means:

  • A family overwhelmed with loss might receive help with funeral costs they never planned for

  • A mother navigating grief might find someone who truly understands and walks alongside her

  • A baby's life — no matter how short — is remembered with love and honor

You may never meet the families you're helping, but your light reaches them. Every flame you light carries a ripple of compassion.
