On National Grief Awareness Day, we recognize the many ways grief becomes part of our lives after loss. There is no end to grief, and no right way to carry the sorrow that comes with the love you had for your child.

Today and every day, we honor all who are grieving and remind you that you are surrounded by a community that cares. 🤍

Sometimes, grieving fathers are overlooked. They may feel pressure to stay strong, return to work, and support everyone else while quietly carrying their grief.

Tomorrow, on International Bereaved Father's Day, let's remember them and learn how we can better support the fathers who carry the love and loss of their children every day.

Behind every bidder paddle is a story. 💙 At our Northern Lights Gala, guests write the name of the child they’re honoring on the back of their live auction bidder paddle. It's a small but meaningful way to carry their child's memory throughout the evening.

In the comments, share the name of the child you honor and carry in your heart every day. ✨

Did you know? The BeliEve Fund helps grieving parents with more than just funeral costs. Your gift could mean one less bill to worry about, a safe space to begin healing, or the chance to create a meaningful memorial for their child.

When a family experiences the loss of a child, siblings grieve, too. That’s why some of the retreats we host at Faith’s Lodge are created for families.

While parents take part in counselor-led group discussions, children spend time with our staff and volunteers in a safe, welcoming environment. They enjoy crafts, scavenger hunts, games, books, and outdoor adventures.

Providing this dedicated time for children to just be kids allows for parents to fully engage in their own healing discussions, knowing their children are being cared for and supported at the same time.
