Remembering all our children through the Thanksgiving holiday who are gone too soon. May we remember them deeper and share them with the world so they know how very special they were. Moms, let’s all say their names so that everyone can remember them with us.

There is one hope that most parents of loss cling to, and that is the hope of reuniting with their child again. Oh, what a reunion that is going to be!

Today is Sibling Loss Awareness Day and marks the beginning of Worldwide Bereaved Siblings Month, a time to recognize and honor the unique grief experienced by those who have lost a brother or sister.

Sibling grief is sometimes overlooked as others focus on the grief of parents. But the bond between siblings is meaningful, lasting, and deeply personal. The memories, shared experiences, and love remain a part of who we are.

Share your sibling's name or a favorite memory in the comments. Let's honor the siblings who will always be a part of our stories.

How do we learn to live with profound loss while continuing to carry the love we have for the child, sibling, or grandchild who died?

Join The Compassionate Friends for our upcoming webinar on November 4 at 12:00 pm ET featuring Dr. Laura Berman, therapist, bestselling author, and bereaved mother.

Dr. Berman recently published her new book, "Crying Out Loud: A Path Through Grief into a Life Reimagined," which draws on her professional experience and personal journey following the death of her son, Sammy.

In this webinar, Dr. Berman will explore practical, evidence-based, and experiential tools for working with grief in the body, staying connected to those we've lost, and slowly discovering who we are becoming.

This is not about "moving on" or returning to who you were before. It's about learning to carry both love and loss as you find your way forward.

Register today and join us for this meaningful conversation: compassionatefriends.org/webinars

Please share this invitation with someone who may find comfort and understanding in this presentation.

From Halloween to Thanksgiving, and all the way to Christmas, the world keeps moving from one celebration to the next.

But for someone who is grieving, every holiday can be another reminder of who is missing.

An empty chair.
A familiar tradition that suddenly feels different.
A name you still expect to hear in the room.

So while you celebrate, be gentle with the hearts around you.
Some people are smiling and grieving at the same time. 🤍

My sweet daughter, every day I find little reminders of the love we shared. Being your parent will always be one of the greatest blessings of my life.

Grief can catch you in the middle of an ordinary day.

You might reach for your phone to message them before remembering. Hear a song and suddenly feel like the air has gone out of the room. Miss something small, like their voice, their chair, the way they said your name.

Some days you may laugh, enjoy yourself, even feel okay for a while, then feel guilty for it. Other days you may feel angry, numb, tired, or completely overwhelmed. None of this means you loved them any less. None of it means you are grieving “wrong”.

Grief does not move in a straight line. A smell, a photo, a birthday, a familiar place, or an important occasion can bring it all close again. A hard day is not going backwards. It is just love and loss showing up together.

You do not have to “move on” from someone who mattered. You learn, slowly and in your own way, how to carry them with you.
