Circle of Life

At Circle of Life, we proudly recognize and celebrate those who have served our country. Each veteran patient is honored with a special ceremony that includes a certificate of recognition, a challenge coin, and an American flag blanket presented to them and their family. This heartfelt tribute acknowledges their service, sacrifice, and acts of courage. Our participation in the We Honor Veterans program is one of the many reasons families choose Circle of Life.

A reminer to be gentle and kind.

Dear world,
Please be gentle with grieving hearts as the holidays near.

They walk among us, often quietly and unseen.
They wear smiles that seem bright. They laugh in ways that sound real.
They show up for others while silently carrying the weight of someone missing.

Some will set the table with one chair empty this year.
Others will hold a recipe card in their mother’s handwriting and feel the ache of her absence all over again.
There will be real moments of joy—followed by the sharp sting of knowing new memories being made don’t include the one they wish was still here.

It’s the strange beauty of being human: joy and grief, forever intertwined.

So when you see a grieving heart, don’t look away.
Lean in. Cry with them. Sit with them if it’s all they can manage.
And let your love be louder than their silence.

It’s true, love can’t fix grief.
But it reminds us we’re not alone in it.
And that’s what matters most.

SPECIAL REQUEST: One of our patients has shared a wish—to take a ride in a 1959 Dodge Custom Royal.

We’re hoping to find someone in the Northwest Arkansas area who owns this classic car and might be willing to help make this wish come true. If you or someone you know would be interested in providing this special experience, we would love to connect.

Please let us know by email: info@nwacircleoflife.org. Thank you!

We’re looking for a new size of vases to add to our collection! 🌷

If you have any vases that are 5 to 5½ inches tall with a circumference of about 3 inches, we’d love to have them. These smaller vases are perfect for the arrangements our volunteers create for patients and families.

Donations can be dropped off at any Circle of Life location during regular business hours. Thank you for helping us bring beauty and comfort to those we serve. 💐

November is National Hospice Month — a time to pause and reflect on what it truly means to care.

At Circle of Life, hospice is not about the end of life; it’s about honoring every moment that remains. It’s about comfort, dignity, and love — ensuring that no one walks their final journey alone.

Every day, our team has the privilege of witnessing families come together, finding peace, sharing laughter, and creating memories that will last long after words fade.

This month, we honor the patients, families, and caregivers who remind us what compassion looks like in its purest form.
