My Inspiration
In the summer of 2021, shortly after my high school graduation, I lost the person I loved most in the world—my brother. This loss wounded my heart deeper than words could express. What made it even harder was how difficult it seemed for others to talk about.
Soon, conversations about my brother became less frequent, and new acquaintances would never know I had a brother. It seemed to save everyone from discomfort and heaviness.
However, the silence didn’t make the pain go away. I felt I was letting go of the very memories that made him real. I feared forgetting the little things I cherished most. That’s when I decided to start journaling, using guided prompts to record my memories for years to come.
Before long, my memories weren’t enough. I wanted to hear what everyone else had to say about my brother too! When I began asking friends and family to share their stories, something unexpected happened—we laughed, we cried, and we healed a little. Despite our respective grief, we were able find joy in remembrance and healing in our shared love.
That’s how Living Angels was born. Living Angels is a call to reach out, remember, and reconnect. Because when we share our stories, we build community. And in community, we never have to bear the weight of grief alone.
Our Mission
Living Angels was born from the deepest kind of love—the love that remains after loss. When a loved one passes, the world feels forever changed. Time stands still, and yet, life keeps moving. In the midst of grief, families are left trying to hold onto memories that feel like they’re slipping away. We created Living Angels to offer something lasting: a way to keep those memories close, vivid, and alive.
Our journals are more than just paper and ink—they are sacred spaces to preserve laughter, milestones, quirks, and dreams. They tell the stories that grief sometimes silences. They help parents, siblings, friends, and extended family hold onto the brightest moments, even in the darkest seasons.
Unlike traditional memory books or blank journals, our products gently guide loved ones through remembrance with thoughtful prompts, beautiful design, and personalized storytelling. Every detail is created with care and empathy—because we know this isn't just a gift. It's a lifeline.
