(Let it speak without judgment)

2. What small joys still find their way through?
(Notice the light that persists)

My grandmother always said "traditions are the heartbeats of family."

After we lost her, we started something new:

• Sunday dinner with her favorite recipes
• Lighting a candle for her at holidays
• Sharing our favorite "Grandma stories"
• Planting flowers she loved each spring

These small rituals didn't erase our grief, but they gave it a home. They became our way of saying "you're still with us."

What traditions help your family remember those you've lost? Please share in the comments 💕

Grief doesn't have to be a dead end.

JOURNALING can be your roadmap forward. Here's how:

1. Start with the prompt, "Right now, I feel ..."
No filter. Just truth. There is no right thing or wrong thing to write. Just go with what you feel right now.

2. Write "What I miss most is ..."
Let the memories flow.

3. Ask "What would make today more meaningful?"
Even small things count. Whatever you answer, be sure to ACT on it!

4. Explore "If my pain had a purpose ..."
This one changes everything.

Your words hold true POWER. They can turn loss into legacy.

What's one feeling you're carrying today that needs space on the page?

When loss leaves you feeling disconnected, community service can be a bridge back to meaning.

Volunteering does more than help others—it helps you:
• Creates new social connections
• Provides purpose beyond your pain
• Shifts focus from what's gone to what's possible
• Builds confidence in your ability to contribute

Small acts of service remind us we still have something to give.
