Grief Garden spent the day educating and sharing with others about supporting families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.

What a great honor to be involved and help others be better prepared to care for these families.

Today we honor and recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The highlighted quote is an excerpt from his "I Have A Dream" speech and, in the context of Grief Garden, speaks to the weight of grief we sometimes feel. May we take today to reflect on the knowledge that this weight isn't the only thing felt by grief, hope exists too.
