🦋💜 GRIEF AFTER VIOLENCE 💜🦋

When someone we love is taken through violence, grief feels different.

There was no time to prepare. No proper goodbye. One moment they were here, and suddenly life became divided into before and after.

Grief after violence carries more than sadness. It can carry questions, anger, confusion, memories, and the painful reality of learning how to live in a world where someone we love is no longer physically present.

Some days, we may smile. 🦋
Some days, we may cry.
Some days, simply getting through the day is enough.

There is no perfect timeline for grief.

At Kayla’s House, the butterfly 🦋 reminds us that even through the deepest pain, transformation is possible.

Healing does not mean forgetting. It does not mean we stop missing them or that their story no longer matters.

Healing can mean learning how to carry their love forward.

🦋 We speak their names.
🦋 We honor their lives.
🦋 We allow ourselves to grieve.
🦋 And when we are ready, we turn some of that pain into purpose.

For every family grieving a loved one lost to violence: you do not have to walk this journey alone.

Like a butterfly, healing takes time. And even after unimaginable loss, love can continue to grow, transform, and leave something beautiful behind. 🦋

If you are grieving someone you love because of violence, we want you to know there is a place for your story. Reach out to Kayla’s House, share their name. 💜🦋

THE CHOICE. RETHINK THE CRIME.

To every young person reading this:

Before you pick up that gun…
Before you get into that car…
Before you agree to that robbery, fight, retaliation, or crime…
Before you follow someone into something you know is wrong…

STOP. THINK. RETHINK.

One decision made in seconds can change your entire life.

Ask yourself: Is this worth my freedom? My future? Someone else's life?

You don't need a gun to prove you're strong.
You don't need to commit a crime to belong.
You don't have to retaliate because someone disrespected you.

Real strength is knowing when to walk away.

Because when that moment is over, two families may be left carrying the consequences—one grieving a life lost, while another watches their child lose their freedom.

Your future is worth more than one moment of anger, pressure, or trying to fit in.

Put the gun down.
Walk away from crime.
Ask for help.
Choose your future. 🧡

ONE MOMENT. ONE CHOICE. ONE LIFE.

Some journeys are walked with tears. Others are walked with purpose. Sometimes, they are both. 🩷🦋

Every step we take is in honor of Kayla.

We keep walking because we know Kayla's story still has the power to change lives.

Through Kayla's House, we choose hope over despair, healing over silence, and action over fear. We are committed to honoring Kayla's life by standing beside families who are navigating unimaginable loss, raising awareness, and working to build safer communities for the next generation.

This journey isn't only about remembering one beautiful life. It's about making sure her legacy continues to inspire compassion, spark change, and remind others that even in the deepest pain, hope can still rise.

Kayla may no longer walk beside us, but her light guides every step I take.

Together, let's create a future where love is louder than violence, healing is stronger than heartbreak, and hope continues to shine.

🦋Her light lives on through change.🦋

Tomorrow is National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

For our family, this day is deeply personal.

On March 17, 2024, our daughter, Kayla Rincon-Miller, was taken from us due to gun violence.

Today, we remember Kayla and every precious life that has been lost too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to speak, educate, and advocate for safer communities and brighter futures for our youth.

We also ask everyone to take a moment to help prevent another family from experiencing this pain. If you own a fi***rm, please store it safely, locked and secured, away from the reach of children and teens.

Last year, friends and family came together to create this video in honor of Kayla. We are grateful to these brave young women who shared their voices and hearts to help spread a message of awareness, hope, and prevention.

At Kayla's House, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to grow, dream, and live the life God intended for them.

Please join us in remembering, educating, and taking action.

Because one life lost is one too many.
