Bereavement Resources

In 2005, after the founder herself was widowed, a close neighbor soon faced the same loss. Seeking a meaningful way to comfort her friend, the founder purchased a pair of mugs featuring an encouraging verse. She realized that presenting both mugs might only highlight her friend’s loneliness. Instead, she offered one mug as a gift and kept the other for herself, promising to pray for her friend each time she used it.


Over the years, as she walked alongside many others through their seasons of loss, she experimented with various comforting gifts. Ultimately, she created her own line of mugs designed to bring solace, hope, and a sense of connection. These first lovingly crafted pieces became known as “Mug Hugs.”

A 1-1 model can only help a few people, and this is meant for the whole world. Toward that vision, we’ve developed a 1-many model that espouses everything we’ve learned and enables it to be distributed far and wide. We hope and believe this will make lasting impact.
