A Baby Named Tiago: Love, Loss, and a Camino Journey
When the yellow arrows lead you to a life in Spain and a baby named Tiago. Cassie and Jay share their journey with us.
After losing their baby Tiago, the couple sought a way to honor his life. They chose the Camino de Santiago, walking in his memory and finding solace, community, and healing along the way.
Walking with Purpose
For this couple, the Camino de Santiago was more than a pilgrimage – it was a way to honor the memory of their baby, Tiago. Their walk carried both the weight of loss and the hope of healing, each step a tribute to the love they would always hold.
The Road as a Place of Healing
On the Camino, they found space to process their grief. The landscapes, the rhythm of walking, and the kindness of fellow pilgrims all became part of their healing journey. The road gave them the time and peace to reflect, remember, and begin to move forward.
Carrying Tiago’s Spirit
Reaching Santiago didn’t mean leaving Tiago behind. Instead, it deepened their connection to him, and to the community of pilgrims who had walked alongside them in spirit. Their Camino became a living memory – a reminder that love continues beyond loss.
The parents of Tiago turned their Camino de Santiago into a deeply personal tribute, finding comfort and strength on the road to Santiago.
