In French, there's no direct way to say "I miss you."

Instead, they say tu me manques β€” which translates literally to you are missing from me.

When you lose someone you love, that's exactly what it feels like. Not just that they're gone β€” but that a part of you is gone with them. There's an empty space where they used to be. In your day, in your home, in your hands.

Grief isn't just about losing someone. It's about suddenly having to exist in a world where part of you is absent.

Tu me manques. You are missing from me.

Maybe the French understood something about love and loss that the rest of us are still trying to find words for.

We're so excited to be part of something that makes this community so special. 🍷✨

The Downtown Campbell Wine Walk is back, and Darling Fischer is proud to be opening our doors as a participating stop. We know β€” a funeral home on a wine walk might surprise you. But that's exactly why we love it.

We've always believed that we are, first and foremost, a part of this community. And what better way to show that than to welcome our neighbors in, pour a glass, and let you see the warm, beautiful space we've created β€” a place built not just for times of loss, but for connection, comfort, and care.

The Wine Walk winds through Downtown Campbell's eclectic shops and eateries on a magical evening filled with wine tasting and live music β€” and we'd love for you to stop in and say hello while you're exploring.

This event is also the primary way the Downtown Campbell Business Association raises funds to support year-round community events Downtown Campbell, so every ticket purchased goes back to making this town the special place it is.

🎟️ Grab your tickets at DowntownCampbell.com before prices go up β€” and we'll see you downtown.

🌧️"The best thing one can do when it's raining is let it rain." β€” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sometimes grief asks nothing of us except to feel it.

We live in a world that often wants to rush past the hard moments β€” to find the silver lining, to stay strong, to move forward. But healing doesn't always look like moving. Sometimes it looks like sitting still, letting the tears fall, and trusting that the storm has a purpose.

Grief doesn't follow a schedule. It shows up when it wants, stays longer than we'd like, and rarely makes sense. But there is something quietly powerful about giving yourself permission to just feel it β€” without trying to explain it away or push through it before you're ready.

The rain doesn't apologize for falling. And you don't have to apologize for hurting.

When you're grieving, sleep can feel like the last thing your body wants to cooperate with. Your mind races, your heart hurts, and rest feels almost impossible β€” or maybe even guilty, like you shouldn't be allowed to feel okay. πŸŒ™

But here's what we want you to know: sleep isn't an escape from your grief. It's part of moving through it.

Grief is exhausting in a way that's hard to put into words. It's not just emotional β€” it lives in your body. Your nervous system is working overtime, and rest isn't a luxury right now. It's medicine.

While you sleep, your brain is processing pain, consolidating memories, and regulating the emotions that feel so overwhelming during the day. Sleep is actually helping you heal.

And when sleep is disrupted β€” which it often is during grief β€” everything gets harder. The sadness feels heavier, patience runs thin, and even small tasks can feel impossible. That's not weakness. That's biology.

Resting is not giving up.

Sleeping is not forgetting.

Taking care of your body is taking care of your grief.

You don't have to earn rest. Healing is hard work β€” and it happens even while you sleep.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling more drained than when you started β€” like somehow it became about everything except what you actually needed?

That's the difference between someone holding space for you and someone (unintentionally) hijacking it.

Most of us have been on both sides of this. Swipe to learn more. πŸ‘‰

Pastor Ryan Wright reminds us that even though we may not have chosen to be where we're at - enduring loss and grief and heartache - we can chose to ask for support, comfort, and companionship.

We choose how we respond - to isolate and hide away - or to feel our feelings and show up, one small step at a time.

This 2024 Guiding Grief episode offers insights, perspectives, and compassion from someone who has spent decades walking alongside those who are struggling.

Even if you've heard this episode with Pastor Wright before, it's worth another listen.

You can find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

Before it became a football anthem heard around the world, You'll Never Walk Alone was born from a much quieter, more tender place β€” a mother comforting a grieving young woman in the 1945 musical Carousel. That's where its heart has always lived.

Somewhere along the way it became a stadium anthem, a rallying cry, a symbol of collective strength. And while that's beautiful, we never want to lose sight of its original intention β€” to sit beside someone in their deepest sorrow and remind them that they do not have to face it alone.

That message is as true today as it was eighty years ago. If you're walking through loss right now, we hope you know that you will never walk alone.

πŸ”₯ "Gloom Must Be Burned." β€” The Wisdom of Zozobra

Every year on Labor Day weekend, tens of thousands of people gather in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to do something powerful: they write down their grief, their fears, their heartbreak β€” and they burn it.

The towering 50-foot effigy known as Zozobra β€” Spanish for anxiety, worry, and gloom β€” is stuffed with slips of paper carrying people's deepest sorrows and set ablaze while the crowd cheers. In those flames, something shifts. Something releases.

The tradition began in 1924, created by artist Will Shuster β€” a World War I veteran who survived mustard gas and a tuberculosis diagnosis. He understood loss deeply, and he wanted a ritual for releasing the grief and worry that clings to us despite our best intentions.

He was onto something timeless.

Grief is one of the most universal human experiences there is. Across every culture and every corner of the world, people have found ways to honor it, hold it, and β€” when ready β€” let it go. Caribbean fishing villages light paper boats on fire and push them out to sea. The Yaqui people burn effigies during Holy Week. Human beings have understood for centuries that grief needs somewhere to go.

At Darling Fischer, we walk alongside people in life's hardest moments. And one thing we know for certain: there is no single right way to grieve. Some write letters to those they've lost. Some light candles. Some find power in fire and community.

Whatever your path looks like β€” we hope you find it. We hope you find the ritual, the moment, or the quiet that helps your grief breathe a little easier.

Our Ambassadors make sure every family is cared for and every service unfolds with care.

They make sure the chapel is ready, the flowers are in place, and that every guest feels welcomed and guided. They handle the details β€” so that families don't have to.

Because when you're saying goodbye to someone you love, your only job is to be present. To grieve. To hold each other. To remember.

That's what our Ambassadors make possible. And we're so honored to have them as part of the Darling Fischer family.

Every year we kick things off the right way β€” good food, good people, and a chance to just be together outside of the day-to-day.

On January 30th, our team gathered to share a meal at Kyoto Palace Japanese Steakhouse, laughed together, celebrated one another, and reminded each other why we do what we do.

Every single person on this team shows up with their whole heart β€” and that means everything to the families and the community we serve.
