James' Legacy: A Story of Love, Loss, and Purpose

Discover the heartfelt inspiration behind Feathers From Heaven, born from a profound personal journey. This page honours James, whose memory guides my mission to support others through grief with compassion and understanding.

The Journey Inspired by James

James is the reason I chose to walk the path of a Certified Grief Coach. His tragic loss deeply impacted our family, and the outpouring of support from our community felt like a message from him saying, "Mom, it's your turn to help others now." Through my spirituality, I found a new connection with him; I feel him around me, always. His presence drives me to pursue what I love: helping people. There's no better way to honour his memory.

Remembering James: His Passion and Legacy

James had an immense love for lacrosse. After his passing, UPEI graciously gave us his uniform, a cherished reminder of his passion. In his honour, they established the James Thomson Memorial Award and a bursary to support future athletes. Lacrosse PEI also organizes the annual Marsh Madness Memorial Tournament, a beautiful tribute in loving memory of James Thomson. He deeply loved his family and held his younger brother, Justin, in high regard.

Finding Comfort and Connection

This page is meant to be a warm and loving space, filled with his colours: purple and teal. It features personal pictures of James, Justin, and moments from his lacrosse life. If you are a grieving mother, I invite you to book a clarity call with me. I would love to hear your story and support you on your journey. Your loved one is never truly gone; they are always by your side, and I will be there for you too.

"The genuine compassion and understanding I received from Feathers From Heaven were a true comfort during my darkest days. It felt like a guiding light."
