Children's Bereavement Center Rio Grande Valley

Our team honored their “Special Person” for Wear the Memory Day — a tradition filled with love, stories, and connection.

Our staff wore clothing that belonged to their loved one, items repurposed from something meaningful, or something that simply reminded them of the person who shaped their hearts.

Because grief doesn’t just touch the children we serve…
It touches us too.
And standing in our memories, we remember why this work matters so deeply.

🦋 A father’s shirt that still carries his cologne.
🧵 A blanket repurposed into a scarf.
💍 A favorite color worn to honor a grandmother.
🎶 A band tee from a sibling gone too soon.

Each item told a story.
Each memory held love.
And each act reminded us that every child who walks through our doors is surrounded by people who understand loss — and who walk beside them with compassion.

As we continue toward Giving Tuesday, we carry our special people with us…
and we honor every child who is carrying someone too.

Last week, one of our campers from Camp Shelby — our grief camp for ages 7–11 — shared something that touched all of us:

“Camp helped me understand that there are other children who have lost important people in their life… and that I am not alone.”

This is why we do what we do.
This is why your support matters so deeply.

Your generosity makes moments like this possible.

Today, on this Giving Tuesday, we invite you to help us continue providing spaces where children can feel supported, connected, and held with compassion. Because healing begins when a child realizes: “I am not alone.” 🦋

As families begin to gather around the table this Thanksgiving, we hold close all the children and families carrying grief into the holiday season 🦋

If you notice the empty chair, the quiet space at the table, or traditions that feel different this year, may you give yourself grace, kindness, and room to feel what your heart needs. Grief and gratitude can exist side by side.

Thank you for allowing us to walk with you on your healing journey. You are not alone—and you are deeply held in our hearts today 💙

Wishing you peace, comfort, and gentle moments of warmth this Thanksgiving. 🕊️🍁

Wishing you a holiday filled with warmth, gratitude, and peace. 💛💙🦋
