[SEATTLE, WA, Oct. 1, 2025—] Waiting Room Publishing (WRP) is proud to announce a meaningful partnership with Judi’s House/JAG Institute, an Aurora, Colorado based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping grieving children and families find connection and healing. As part of this collaboration, WRP will donate a portion of net sales from Candlelight Magazine, a publication offering insight and resources to those navigating grief, beginning from October 2025 to October 2026. The proceeds will be directly donated to Judi’s House, to aid in their vision that no should be child alone in grief. This partnership between WRP and Judi’s House underscores a shared commitment of community and healing to children and caregivers navigating grief.  

“As someone who has walked the difficult path of family bereavement, I know firsthand the profound impact Judi’s House provides to families in mourning’” says WRP Founder Laura Jaye Cramer. “After losing both my father and brother to suicide in 2021, I experienced the darkness of loss—and also the community and growth that Judi’s House makes possible. It is an honor to contribute to a team that has given so much to families like mine." By leveraging their platforms in alignment with a cause that closely reflects their own core values, Waiting Room Publishing aims to elevate awareness and generate vital support for the ongoing work of Judi’s House. 

“We’re grateful to be the beneficiary of this generous partnership and appreciate the opportunity to raise awareness around the impact of childhood bereavement,” said Judi’s House CEO Micki Burns, PhD. “In the U.S., 6.4 million children will experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18.  Grief is not rare; it’s a public health issue that begs for meaningful support. Waiting Room Publishing helps shine a light on the urgent need for accessible, compassionate care for those navigating loss.” WRP is honored to contribute to the exemplary work of Judi’s House, helping children as they navigate the death of a loved one, by uniting creativity and care to make a meaningful difference in their lives.
