The Angel of Hope

Today while wandering around the hospital "campus" I came across yet another little garden with mini trails. I knew from the angel statues and this large monument it was very special.

The Angel of Hope name comes from a best-selling book and television movie called The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans, who inspired this statue. In the story, an elderly woman mourns the death of her little daughter by making regular trips to the child’s grave, which is marked with an angel statue (Angel of Hope). The statue evokes a profound and miraculous connection between mother and child and helps convey valuable lessons about the true meaning of life to others. This simple, non-religious but spiritual story has brought hope to thousands of parents who have endured the death of a child. - Taken from Angela's House Website.

Turns out it is a garden dedicated to "the babies whose lives we cannot share…."
