Meet the Owner

My name is LaVera, and I didn’t start this work because I had a business idea.

I started it because grief became part of my life all at once.

Within an 18-month period, I lost my parents and my grandparent. The people who raised me, shaped me, and made the world feel steady. There was no time to process one loss before another followed. Grief didn’t come in waves; it came in layers, stacking quietly while life continued to ask things of me.

During that same season, my life was changing in other ways too. I went through a divorce, returned to school, and was working toward becoming a librarian—trying to rebuild structure and stability while everything familiar felt like it had fallen away. I was learning how to show up for my children, for my studies, and for my future while carrying a heart that was very tired.

Alongside loss, I’ve also walked through health challenges that forced me to slow down when I didn’t want to. My body and my grief seemed to speak the same language—asking me to pause, to listen, and to stop pretending I was okay just to keep going.

My mom’s death, especially, changed how I carry myself through life. She showed me how to love deeply, how to hold space for others, and how faith could be lived quietly and consistently. Losing her didn’t take those lessons away. However it did leave me searching for ways to hold onto her, to honor her, and to keep her presence close.

This space was created out of that searching.

I believe grief doesn’t need to be fixed. It needs to be acknowledged, honored, and carried with care. I believe faith can coexist with sorrow. And I believe there is comfort in holding something tangible when words fall short.

Everything I create is rooted in that belief.

These collections are not about moving on or finding closure. They are about remembering, reflecting, and learning how to carry love forward—slowly, gently, and honestly.

This work is deeply personal to me. It’s made for those who are grieving, remembering, and learning how to breathe again—one quiet moment at a time.

You are welcome here!
