What is Healing Footsteps?

We are David and Angelina, parents of Danya — our little son whose heart stopped in the womb at 36 weeks of pregnancy in July 2025.

Since that time, we’ve been on a healing journey — step by step, breath by breath — learning how to keep moving forward while carrying our love and our grief together.

Along the way, we were blessed with the most compassionate support. One of the people who walked beside us was Stacy, who was there for Danya’s birth and who continues to accompany us as a chaplain and now our dear friend.

Before our pregnancy with Danya, we had often talked about walking the Camino together. David had already completed it twice — six weeks each time — and had discovered how walking opens space for peace, reflection, and renewal. After losing Danya, that dream became something deeper: a way to heal, to honour his place in our lives, and to step with courage and hope toward what lies ahead.

Now, together with Stacy, we are creating a guided Camino pilgrimage for bereaved parents like us — a journey of healing, gratitude, and gentle transformation.

This walk is an invitation to move through grief in community — to share stories, silence, and strength with others who understand. With Stacy’s professional care and heartfelt presence, and the shared rhythm of walking side by side, we hope each participant finds moments of peace, connection, and hope along the way. Grief may change us forever, but together, step by step, we can keep walking toward light, love, and the future waiting ahead.

We would be honored to walk this path with you.
