Our Story: Gentle Support After Unexpected Sudden Loss

Hi, I’m Salina, the creator of Forever Dhian.  

In October 2024, my world shattered when I suffered the sudden loss of my beautiful, healthy son, Dhian, just days before his first birthday. In the wake of that unimaginable pain, I searched desperately for resources that understood the unique weight of sudden loss—the shock, the unanswered questions, the loneliness in a world that moves forward when yours has stopped.  

What I needed most was gentle guidance, not clichés. Practical tools, not platitudes. A space where grief wasn’t fixed, but honored.  

Before Dhian’s passing, I ran a small Etsy shop creating digital invitations and family planners (which can be found [here]). While that work brought me joy, it was his loss that reshaped my purpose. The care I poured into those 5-star-reviewed products—the attention to detail, the quiet hope that my work might ease someone’s load—is now channeled into every grief guide, every journal prompt I create here. This isn’t just a shop. It’s a lifeline I needed but couldn’t find.

That’s why I created Forever Dhian.  

Here, you’ll find:  

- Honest blog posts about navigating grief’s unpredictable waves (because no one should grieve in silence).  

- Carefully curated resources—printable journals, memorial keepsakes, and step-by-step guides—for the days when even small tasks feel impossible.  

• A community that understands the language of loss.  

This isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about learning to carry love—and pain—forward, one breath at a time.  

If you’re here, I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. But I’m also grateful you’ve found this corner of the internet. However heavy your heart feels today, you’re not alone.  

With love,  

Salina 🤍
