The holiday season brings both joy and heartache. ❤️

For many families, December is a time of celebration—but it's also a time when the absence of loved ones feels most present. The empty seat at dinner, the traditions they started, the gifts they'll never give.

This year, we invite you to honor their memory in a way that feels right for you. Light a candle. Share a story. Plant a tree. Visit their favorite place. There's no "right way" to grieve during the holidays.

And if you need support, we're here. Our compassionate team understands the weight of these moments. 🕯️
