Seen as a whole, this garden is 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, symbols of transformation and hope. The display shows children that they are not alone—that they are cared about and supported in their grief.
Thank you for being part of Illuminating HOPE. Your butterfly, along with so many others, is a powerful message of hope and transformation.
Come back on November 19 for the unveiling of the 2020 butterfly mosaic mural.
Please create your own virtual butterfly using the tools to the right. Then add your butterfly to the Butterfly Garden by hitting “SUBMIT”. Make your butterfly of HOPE:
In MEMORY of loved ones who have died
In HONOR of a child or adult who is grieving
In SUPPORT of grieving children, adults, and families everywhere
In addition, all butterflies that are created by Monday, November 2, 2020 will be added to a virtual mosaic mural on this website, to be unveiled on Children’s Grief Awareness Day (November 19, 2020).
We reserve the right to remove butterflies based on inappropriate content.
