Grief looks and feels different for everyone. There’s no “correct” way to grieve and no timeline for finding your way forward.

At Love Bus, we recognize the many kinds of loss – especially those that can come with a cancer journey–, and the importance of making space for every feeling along the way.

To everyone coping with grief in any of its forms: you are not alone. Today, and every day, let’s meet grief with compassion, understanding, and love.

⛵ Five Love Bus families stepped back in time this week!

Thanks to the Gundalow Company out of Portsmouth, NH, our families set sail on the Piscataqua River aboard a flat-bottomed gundalow — a true piece of New England history. Kids and parents alike got to hoist and bring in the sails, learn the story of the boat and the river, and even spot a few blue herons along the way.

Moments like these are what our Riding Together program is all about: giving families a chance to breathe, explore, and make memories together outside the walls of a hospital.

A huge thank you to the Gundalow Company for welcoming us aboard! 💙
