Awareness of grief milestones is a first step in getting through the difficult days. Whether it is one month since a loss or 5 years, or an anniversary or birthday, these days are some of the most challenging. Having an intentional plan for commemorating your loved one can help. Some find comfort in visiting the grave, lighting a candle at home, or having a meal with family to celebrate the person's life. Whatever you choose, we wish you grace as you travel your grief journey.

Earth Day provides an opportunity to enjoy nature and give back to it. Pick up around your favorite park or water source. Watch birds, bees, and wildlife in their natural habitat. Plant a native tree or plant that attracts native insects. Enjoy these activities with young people and spread the joy of taking care of our planet with them!
