Funeral Expense

Honoring Your Child’s Birthday with Love and Support

We Care for you Meal Boxes

Children are not supposed to die…Parents expect to see their children grow and mature. Ultimately, parents expect to die and leave their children behind . . .This is the natural course of life events, but life isn't always that predictable. I am sorry. This is not how life was suppose to go. Let us help take some of the financial burden from you assisting with funeral expenses. We are here to help.  

We Care for you Meal Boxes

🧸 Alayna’s Legacy Bears – A Gift of Comfort and Healing 🧸

We Care for you Meal Boxes

Our hope and goal with this meal package is to hold space for you, provide nurturing comfort, and offer support — without telling you how to grieve, what to feel, or critiquing your process. We understand that food has a unique ability to soothe the soul and uplift the spirit. Whether familiar or new, these dishes can activate the brain’s reward centers, releasing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin that bring feelings of pleasure and comfort.

During this agonizing time, please know that we are thinking of you and holding you in our prayers. You are not alone.

Important Note:
Due to a limited number of meals we can send each month, you may be placed on a waitlist. We hope that if there is a brief wait, your meal will arrive at just the right moment when your family most needs support. We will contact you before your meal is delivered or shipped.

To receive a meal, please click the "We Care for You Meal Box" button below to sign up.

Please note: We will never send a meal without first reaching out to the recipient. If you are filling out the form on behalf of a family member, please inform them that we will be contacting them directly.

At The N-E-W Healing Hive, we believe no one should walk through grief alone. We offer free support group workshops in Appleton, Wisconsin, open to anyone navigating the loss of a loved one. These gatherings are lovingly led by our founder, Cindy Bottine, a bereaved parent herself who understands firsthand the deep need for connection, compassion, and hope during times of loss.

Each support group is a safe, welcoming space where participants can share their experiences, find comfort in community, and gently move toward healing. Guest speakers may occasionally join us to share insight and guidance based on the theme of the workshop.

We also provide information about local resources, including referrals to trusted professional counseling services for those who feel they need additional support.

For meeting locations and upcoming workshop dates, please visit our social media pages or click the Support Meetings link below.

You are not alone. We’re here to walk beside you—every step of the way.
