Photography

Sweet Grace Ministries coordinates our own photography program. These volunteer photographers will provide professional photographs for those enduring loss in the hospital. This will allow better integration between photography and the resources provided to the families we serve in and outside the hospital. All of our services are free of charge.

Life Limiting Diagnosis Support

Sweet Grace Ministries seeks to support families who have received a life limiting diagnosis for their baby/babies. We offer connection to a photographer for maternity and hospital photos, resource basket, gown, and heartbeat animal prior to the birth of your baby. In addition, we aim to connect you with a couple that may have a similar story. These individuals may be able to walk more closely with you and intimately understand your journey. Please call or email to receive this information.

Card Ministry

Sweet Grace Ministries offers parents the option to have hand written cards mailed to them during the month of their baby’s birthday/due date, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Christmas. If you are a parent who has endured miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, or infant death of any stage, and would like to receive cards please fill out the form provided and we will add you to our mailing list.
