Attending a service and unsure what to wear? Today’s memorials and celebrations of life can vary, so it’s always a good idea to check if the family has any specific requests. When in doubt, choosing something simple and respectful is always appropriate. Showing up with care and consideration means more than anything you wear. 💙

Sometimes, the simplest words mean the most.

Saying “This must be incredibly hard for you” lets someone know their grief is seen, acknowledged, and understood.

When we show up with empathy, not answers, we remind others they are not alone.
