A new year can bring fresh beginnings — but it can also highlight the empty space where someone special should be. If you’re grieving, this season may feel complicated, emotional, or even overwhelming. That’s okay. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means finding ways to carry your loved one with you into a new chapter.

At Schildknecht Funeral Home, we know how tender this time of year can be. That’s why we’ve gathered helpful New Year resources to support you: gentle ways to navigate difficult days, grounding activities, and meaningful ideas for honoring those who remain close in your heart.
