Calypso's Ocean
The Neonatal Loss Remembrance Page
What is Calypso's Ocean?
Calypso's Ocean is actually a two part organization. One part is supplying an online memorial page for parents whose babies passed away while still in the Hospital or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. A place for other people to read your child's name, see their photo, and take a moment of silence in their memory.
The second part is donating bereavement items to NICU and OB wards. Trying to help each newly bereaved parent know they are not alone and someone out there does care about their angel and about what they as the parents are going through.

What's with the name?
Calypso's Ocean is named in memory of my daughter Calypso Paikea Rhyder. She passed away at 3 weeks old in 2007. You can read her story under Calypso's Story and there are also some photos of her.
