Holiday decorations are going up all over the place. So, create a safe place in your home.

Decorate or don't decorate; buy a candle you love; let the kids decorate however they like; create a decor-free spot where you can retreat; make your space YOUR space.

When you are traveling through your day in an environment you can't control . . . know that you are going to return to the safe space you've created.

Many grieving people find text messages to be comforting.

“Just, ‘Hey, I was thinking of you.’ It doesn't have to be a big thing. If someone writes that, I don't have to respond until I'm ready. Things like, ‘Are you okay? Is there anything I can do? Do you need a…’ is putting more work on me. Just, ‘I’m thinking of you.’ That feels nice.” - Jack StockLynn

“I wasn't really big on talking. So, text messaging was really good for me. I could look at the text and be like, ‘I don't really know what to say to this. I just don't really know how I'm feeling.’ But in three hours I can be like, ‘Oh, this is how I'm feeling,’ and respond. So, texting really helped.” - Zee Wolters

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal . . . love leaves a memory no one can steal."

- Richard Puz 🧡

Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. It doesn’t always look like sadness. It can be quiet, angry, exhausted, numb—or all of the above.
Too often, people grieving feel pressured to "move on" or "be strong." But grief isn't a weakness. It's love living on.
Whether someone is mourning a death, a relationship, a version of themselves, or a future they hoped for—they deserve space, not silence.
This is your reminder: Grief is not a burden. It's a human experience. And people in grief don’t need fixing. They need compassion. They need understanding. They need us.
