Roberta's House

We are holding the family, friends, and colleagues of Denton Police Chief George William Bacorn Jr. in our hearts. 💙

A loss this sudden reaches far beyond one family. It reaches a town, a department, and everyone who counted on him.

Grief after an unexpected death can feel overwhelming. There is no right way to feel and no timeline to follow. Shock, numbness, anger, and exhaustion are all part of it, and it's okay to lean on others while you move through it.

If you're grieving, you don't have to do it alone. The Good Grief Cafe at Roberta’s House is a monthly online grief support and education series, open to people across Maryland. It’s a welcoming virtual space to learn about grief, connect with others who understand loss, and explore healthy paths to healing.

Roberta’s House joins Baltimore in mourning the death of Sophie Lee, a transgender woman who was shot and killed in the Barclay neighborhood.

Sophie was more than the violence that ended her life. She was a person who was loved, valued, and deserving of safety, dignity, and the opportunity to live fully as herself. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and Baltimore’s transgender community as they grieve this devastating loss.

Violence creates wounds that extend far beyond an individual victim. Roberta’s House stands ready to support families and communities affected by homicide and traumatic loss with compassion and without judgment.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Baltimore Police homicide detectives at 410-396-2100 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7-LOCKUP.

This September, Charity A.M.E. Zion Church's Prayer Line is tackling something we don't talk about enough: "How to Grieve."

Join us every Wednesday for real conversations, powerful guest speakers, and a community ready to hold space for your healing. 💛

Healing takes time — and it's okay to take one day at a time.

Twenty-five years later, and some mornings still feel exactly like that one — the kind of quiet that follows something you never fully recover from. Today we remember the lives lost on September 11th, the families who have carried this grief for a quarter century, and the first responders who ran toward danger without hesitation. Some moments don't fade with time; they just become part of who we are as a nation. We remember. We honor. We carry this with us. 🕊️

If you know someone still carrying this loss, reach out today. A phone call, a text, or simply sitting with them in silence can mean more than words ever could. No one should have to hold grief alone.

Grief does not wait for children to grow up before it shows up—but no child should have to face it alone.

This weekend, more than 50 children and teens participated in Camp Erin® Baltimore, a free bereavement camp where they found a safe and supportive space to play, connect, remember, and heal alongside peers who understand the experience of loss.

On , help us continue creating spaces where grieving young people feel seen, supported, and less alone. Make a gift, volunteer, or refer a family who could benefit from Camp Erin® Baltimore.
