When you need a little longer.

You can remember their scent. But there’s nothing quite like breathing it in.

For yourself or someone you love, Stay is a nurse-founded grief support experience created to help hold onto that connection a little longer.

The Stay Experience

A different way to hold onto what matters.

A favorite shirt. A pillowcase. A piece of clothing that still carries their familiar scent.

Stay brings together three scent pouches, a memory journal, and a beautiful wooden box. A personal experience to use in your own time.

Our Founder

I created what I couldn’t find when I needed it.

When I lost someone I loved, I wanted more time. One more moment with their familiar scent. One more chance to experience the comfort and connection it brought me.

But I couldn’t find anything like Stay, and I missed my chance.

I didn’t want anyone else to miss that chance, too.

So I created Stay.

Stay is for anyone who wants the chance to preserve a familiar scent and hold onto the comfort and connection it brings—for anyone needing a little longer.
