A community built around a love bigger than the sky.
For the babies we carry in our hearts, and the families who carry their love with them.
Bigger Than the Sky is a space to connect, create friendships, share stories,
and simply be with people who understand.
The worst club we never wanted to join.
We didn’t choose this club. We didn’t ask to be here. But somehow, we found ourselves among people who understand the things that are often impossible to explain.. the dates we remember, the moments that catch us off guard, the questions we still carry, and the love that never quite fits into words.
We can’t change the fact that we’re here, but we can choose to find each other within it. We can turn an unexpected chapter into a place where friendships grow, stories are honoured, and our babies continue to be part of the lives we’re building.
What You'll Find Here
CONNECTION
There’s comfort in finding someone who just gets it. BTTS brings people together through virtual meetups,
in-person gatherings, and everyday conversations, creating opportunities to share, listen, laugh, and build genuine friendships.
GATHERING
Sometimes you need a safe space to talk about the hard stuff, and sometimes you just need to paint pottery, eat good food, and get way too competitive at bingo. BTTS gatherings are a chance to get out, try something new, make some memories, and have a little fun along the way.
REMEMBRANCE
Remembering can look different for everyone. BTTS will create opportunities throughout the year to honour our babies in ways that feel personal - from shared traditions and remembrance gatherings to the simple act of saying their name.
Be In The Know!
Who Can Join?
Bigger Than the Sky is a free community for parents who have experienced any kind of pregnancy or infant loss. That might mean a miscarriage early in pregnancy, a loss later in pregnancy, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, ectopic or molar pregnancy, neonatal loss, or the loss of an infant.
Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, there is a place for you here. You don’t have to be in a particular stage of grief, and there’s no timeline for when you should feel ready to connect with others.
BTTS welcomes moms, dads, and partners, and some gatherings may also include grandparents or other loved ones. Event details will always make it clear who the gathering is intended for.
A note about our gatherings:
Unless otherwise noted, BTTS events are child-free. This is an intentional choice to create a space where everyone can feel comfortable, particularly parents who are newly grieving or whose family doesn’t include living children.
