Our Story
The S.H.I.A Family: Supporting Hearts through Individualised Art was created from my personal journey of love, loss, and resilience. After losing my son, Shia, I sought ways to honour his memory and process the immense grief. What began as a personal effort to create meaningful keepsakes has grown into a mission to support other bereaved parents. Shia’s legacy is the heart of this organisation—a space where families can find comfort, connection, and a way to honour their child’s memory.
We provide personalised memorial items and creative workshops. Everything we offer is designed with care and compassion. Our story is about turning pain into purpose, ensuring no parent feels alone in their journey of grief and remembrance.
What We Do
PersonaliSed Memorial Items
We create unique, personalised memorial items for parents, that serve as tangible tributes to their babies.

Our collection of Personalised Memorial Items offers a heartfelt way to keep your baby’s memory close, creating lasting keepsakes that reflect the love, joy, and connection you shared. Each item is carefully crafted and customised to your unique wishes, from soft, cuddly teddies, and elegant plaques, to flower chairs. These meaningful tributes are designed to be comforting, tangible reminders that your baby’s spirit will always remain with you. We work with you to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake that honors your baby’s life. Once you place your order, our team will reach out to ensure every detail is captured perfectly.
Creative Memorial Workshops

Our Creative Memorial Workshops provide a safe space for parents to explore their emotions and memories through creative expression. These workshops are designed to help you honour your baby’s memory while also fostering a sense of healing and supporting your mental well-being. Engaging in the creative process allows you to express your grief in a personal and meaningful way, offering an outlet for emotions that can be difficult to put into words. Our workshops are led by compassionate facilitators who understand the journey of loss and the impact it has on mental health. They provide a supportive environment for you to explore your feelings, connect with others, and create something beautiful in memory of your baby. Join us for a workshop and discover how creativity can be a powerful tool for emotional healing and self-care.

At The SHIA Family, we are guided by the belief that every child’s memory deserves to be honoured.
We embrace creativity as a healing force, champion individuality in grief journeys, and foster a supportive community where bereaved families can express their grief, find connection, and heal.
Our Mission & Vision
Our mission at The SHIA Family is to provide comfort and support to bereaved parents and families affected by pregnancy, baby and child loss. Through creativity, connection and compassionate spaces we help them express love, navigate grief and find community while prioritising their mental well-being.
We envision a future where every bereaved parent finds comfort, support, empowerment and healing in a compassionate, creative community that nurtures mental well-being.
 We provide bereaved parents and their families with tangible ways to honour their babies’ memories while building a supportive community that understands their journey. Through personalised memorial items and creative workshops, we offer spaces where grief can be expressed, memories can be cherished, and healing – both emotional and mental – can begin. We strive to ensure that every parent who experiences baby loss has access to compassionate support, mental health awareness and meaningful ways to remember their precious ones.
