Mid-week check-in: If you’re carrying grief, we’re holding space for you.

Try a gentle pause tonight—light a candle, breathe slowly for 60 seconds, and say your loved one’s name out loud. If you’d like, share their first name in the comments so we can remember with you. 🕯️

3 simple ways to support a grieving friend this week:

1. Name their loved one. “I was thinking about Michael today.”

Today we honor Día de los Mu***os — the Day of the Dead.
A time not of sadness, but of remembrance. Families light candles, share favorite foods, and decorate ofrendas with marigolds and photos — celebrating the love that continues beyond this life. 💛

May we all take a moment today to remember those who have gone before us — to say their names, share their stories, and feel their presence in the warmth of our memories.

Love lives on through every generation.

Tonight, as pumpkins glow and laughter fills the air, may we also take a quiet moment to remember those whose presence we miss most.

Grief and love often share the same season — and both deserve space to shine. ✨

Wishing you a peaceful, safe Halloween from all of us at Waite Funeral Homes.

The days are getting shorter, the evenings quieter — and that can stir both peace and ache. If this season feels tender, please remember to give yourself grace. Rest, reflect, and reach out if you need support.

All around our community this weekend, fall festivities are beginning — hayrides, costumes, pumpkin patches, and the first hints of Halloween fun.

For many, these traditions bring joy and togetherness. But for others, they may also stir tender memories and longing for those who aren’t here to share in the season.

If you find yourself caught between smiles and tears, know that it’s okay to hold both. Grief and joy often walk hand in hand — especially during times filled with family, tradition, and love.

Take things gently this weekend. Pause for a moment of remembrance, light a candle, or do something small in honor of the one you miss. Their presence lives quietly in every season.
