We miss them so much, because we loved them so much.

On this Valentine’s Day we understand it can be a painful reminder of the loss of a loved one. Coping strategies can include allowing yourself to continue your grief journey without pressure, create new rituals to honor your loved one, and practicing self-care. Don’t hesitate to reach out to others for conversation and support. ❤️❤️‍🩹

“Why do we, as a society, bury grief in the darkness when it is the inevitable outcome of the love that unites us all? Why do we isolate at exactly the moment that we need human connection the most?" — Key quote from “Eleanor the Great” (2025)
