Illuminating HOPE is a virtual gathering of butterflies, each one a message of love and honor and support, and coming together in this mosaic, a beacon of HOPE to all who are grieving the death of a loved one.
People from all across the world have created and contributed these butterflies, showing children that they are not alone—that they are cared about and supported in their grief.
Designed by MarketSpace Agency, this mural represents the theme for Children’s Grief Awareness Day 2021: It’s OK To Not Be OK — acknowledging that all feelings experienced during the grief journey are OK. The mural is made up of thousands of stories of grief joined together, a reminder that no matter what you’re feeling, it is OK and You Are Not Alone.
