Day 8 of 30 💙

When someone dies, adults often avoid saying their name, afraid it will make the grief worse. But for children, hearing their loved one’s name can do the opposite. It reminds them that person still matters.

Saying a name keeps memories alive. It tells a child, “We haven’t forgotten.” It gives them permission to talk, to share stories, to feel connected. Avoiding the name can make kids feel like their loss is something to hide or “move past.”

When we say, “I miss your mom,” or “Your brother loved that game,” we give grief language and love space to breathe.

So say their name. Say it gently, say it often, and say it with love. 💙

The Sudden Rush of Grief in Public

You’re just running errands…
and then out of nowhere...it hits.

A song.
A scent.
A face that looks too familiar.

And suddenly, you’re standing in a grocery aisle, fighting tears you didn’t see coming.
Everyone else keeps moving, but your heart has stopped....
back in a moment only you remember.

Grief doesn’t care where you are.
It just shows up...
reminding you how deep love really runs. 💔

They don’t leave — they just change the way they stay.
In our hearts, in our words, and in the quiet love that never fades. 🤍

Day 9 of 30 💙

A comfort cave is a small, personalized space where children can relax, reflect, and find calm during difficult moments. It gives them a sense of control, safety, and comfort — allowing emotions to surface at their own pace. These spaces help kids self-regulate, feel secure, and begin to process their grief in a gentle, supported way.

Here are a few simple ways to create one at home:
• Choose a quiet spot with soft lighting and minimal distractions.
• Add cozy items — blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or a favourite book.
• Let your child personalize it with drawings, photos, or objects that bring comfort.
• Keep it open and accessible — a space they can visit anytime they need a break.
• Remind them that this is their special place to feel, rest, and just be.

A comfort cave can’t take grief away, but it can help a child feel safe while they move through it — one quiet moment at a time.
