WELCOME TO WITH LOVE

 

We are Nicki Elischer and Amanda Lascelle; friends, coworkers and moms from Vancouver, BC, Canada who are passionate about  supporting and advocating for children and youth experiencing grief and loss.

​

Through our professional and personal experiences, we have come to recognize the need to better support children and youth in their grief. We are often approached by parents who ask us how they can support their child, their niece, or the friend on the soccer team, who has just experienced a significant loss, and we have realized that it is much too difficult to find that information when it's needed. In creating With Love gift boxes, we hope to provide some information, resources, and a tangible means by which to support children and youth experiencing grief and loss. By offering a thoughtful and supportive gift, you will provide them with a therapeutic way to express emotions, to remember their loved ones, and most importantly, to let them know that they are loved.
