Our Story

Born from a personal journey of loss and love, Hugs of Light exists to illuminate the darkest corners of grief with the warmth of remembrance.

Lighting the Way Forward

Hugs of Light, formerly known as Depress Me Not Candles, was born from a journey of survival and rebirth. After escaping an abusive relationship, our founder found solace in the simple, quiet ritual of lighting a candle. In those moments of stillness, watching the flame became a beacon of hope - a visual reminder that light can exist even in the darkest times. It represented a promise of a better future for herself and her children. This daily ritual transformed into a powerful meditation, turning pain into purpose and becoming a symbol of the undying strength that resides within us all.
