We’ll offer practical tools for managing gatherings and expectations, and introduce simple, meaningful ways to remember the person who died. Whether the death was recent or long ago, you are welcome to attend this workshop. You don’t have to navigate this season alone.

Ava and the Acorn by Lu Fraser
“All the things you’ve loved are never truly gone… they live on in your heart.”
Ava and her Grandad make memories beneath the old Oak tree through every season — picnics in summer sun, leaf-kicking in autumn’s glow. As the tree changes, so does life… but with every ending comes a new beginning.
A tender story about love, loss, and the beauty of the seasons.
Ages 5-7

“There is such a powerful eloquence in silence. True genius is knowing when to say nothing, to allow the experience, the moment itself, to carry the message, to say what needs to be said. Words are less important, less effective than feeling. When you can sit in perfect silence with someone, you truly know how to communicate.”

Driving Miss Norma: One Family's Journey Saying "Yes" to Living by Tim Bauerschmidt and Rammie Liddle

At 90 years old, Miss Norma was diagnosed with cancer—and offered surgery, radiation, and chemo. Instead, she stood tall and said, “I’m hitting the road.”
What followed was an unforgettable cross-country adventure in a 36-foot motorhome with her son, daughter-in-law, and their dog.
From hot-air balloons to horseback rides, trying new foods to meeting strangers who became family—Norma chose living over fear.
Driving Miss Norma is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to choose joy, seek adventure, and redefine what it means to truly live.

Life moves fast — emails, calls, errands, and endless to-do lists. But here’s your gentle reminder: cooking is self-care.

According to Chef Sandra Lewis - Your kitchen isn’t just a workspace — it’s your sanctuary. A place where time slows, your senses awaken, and the day’s stress fades away. Cooking invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect — with yourself and the people who matter most.

5 Ways Cooking Is Self-Care:

1. The Table Is Where Life Happens. Gather, laugh, and connect — nourishment for both body and soul.

2. Support Your Long-Term Health. Every home-cooked meal is a gift to your future self.

3. Reset Your Brainwaves. The sounds, smells, and colors of cooking shift your mind from stress to calm.

4. Create Joyful Memories. Aroma ties us to cherished moments — every scent tells a story.

5. Savor Accomplishment. That first bite of a meal you made? Pure joy and pride.

Cooking isn’t another task — it’s your daily ritual of renewal.

Permission to Mourn: A New Way to Do Grief by Tom Zuba
The death of someone we love cracks us open, inviting us to become who we were born to be. In Permission to Mourn: A New Way to Do Grief, Tom Zuba shares the hard-won wisdom he discovered after the deaths of his daughter, wife, and son. He learned that grief isn’t something to get over — it’s something to walk through. When we stop repressing and denying our pain and instead give ourselves permission to mourn, healing begins. Grief, he teaches, is not our enemy but one of our greatest teachers. Love doesn’t end when a life ends, and we were not born to suffer — we were born to be radiant.

If you’re walking through loss or standing beside someone who is, Tom’s words offer hope, compassion, and a gentle invitation to find a new way to do grief.
