Earlier this week, we were honored to gather in celebration of the retirement of George Robie, spiritual care provider with HoriSun Hospice for the past 18 years.

George has been a steady, comforting presence for patients, families, and staff alike; offering compassion, wisdom, and words that brought meaning to life’s most tender moments. Through listening ears, thoughtful reflection, and even the famous poems he so generously shares, George has helped guide countless individuals through many challenging moments.

We are deeply grateful for the care, calm, and heart George has brought to our team for nearly two decades. While his retirement marks the end of an important chapter, his impact will continue to be felt in the lives he touched.

Thank you, George, for the light you shared so freely. You will always be part of the HoriSun family!

We are incredibly proud to share this inspiring talk from our very own Sara, Bereavement Coordinator at HoriSun!

Sara courageously took the stage during Ignite Lincoln to give her speech titled, 'Grief, My Friend':

"Sara addresses how grief and death, though universal experiences, often create profound loneliness and isolation. By learning to openly discuss death, dying, and grief, Yates informs us on how we can reduce fear and stigma while becoming better supporters for those who are grieving. This openness creates opportunities for authentic connection and community care during life's most difficult moments."

From writing and preparing her speech, to rehearsing and delivering it in front of a live audience, Sara embraced this challenge with vulnerability, strength, and heart.

Ignite Lincoln events provide a platform where everyday voices can share meaningful stories in a supportive community environment, encouraging connection, understanding, and growth.

Sara - we are so proud of you for all of your hard work and for bringing light to a subject that touches so many lives. View the video of her full speech below:

Our “Honor Your Love” event was a beautiful afternoon of flowers, sweet treats, and meaningful connection with those who were missing their special Valentine this year. It was a privilege to share space, stories, and remembrance with each person who joined us.

Love continues - in memory, in community, and in the hearts we carry forward.

This post is always worth a reshare 💙

Grief is like a heavy backpack. 🎒

At first, it feels overwhelming. The weight is constant. You notice it in every moment, every memory, every ordinary part of life that suddenly feels different.

Over time, we learn to carry it differently. We find support, understanding, and new ways to move forward while still holding what we have lost.

The backpack never disappears. Grief stays with us because love stays with us. But as life grows around it, the weight does not take up as much space.

Grief changes shape. And so do we.

…a moment so big, it changes everything.

Some Days are Simply for Breathing

Remember, it’s okay to slow down
and take a day off from everything.
Let the world keep spinning.
Let the clocks keep turning.
Step away from the noise
and the obligations.

Rest is not a failure.
It is the moment you admit
you are human,
and that your limits are not flaws
but thresholds asking for kindness.

Some days are simply for breathing,
for sitting quietly.
Let the body soften.
Let the mind unravel.
Today does not need you to carry it.
You are allowed to be held.
