Today is National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims.

Today, we remember the lives stolen by violence.

We remember the mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, siblings, spouses, friends, and children whose lives were taken far too soon.

And we remember the people left behind.

Because when someone is murdered, the loss doesn’t end at the crime scene. Families are left to navigate grief, trauma, unanswered questions, anniversaries, court dates, empty chairs, and a world that keeps moving when their world has been forever changed.

At Healing Roots, we believe no one should have to walk this road alone. There is no timeline for this kind of grief, and there is no “moving on.” We learn to carry what happened while continuing to find ways to live, love, remember, and heal.

For every life taken.
For every family changed.
For every mother who still aches for her child.
For every survivor learning how to breathe again.

We remember. We speak their names. We carry their stories.

If you’re a mom grieving the loss of your child to violence, there is a community that understands that some things simply cannot be explained.
The questions.
The anger.
The memories.
The anniversaries.
The moments when everyone else has moved on—but you haven’t.
You don’t have to have the right words.
You don’t have to know what you need.
You can simply show up exactly as you are.
There is room for your grief here. There is room for your story here. There is room for you.
Healing Roots is creating a community where grieving moms can connect, be understood, and find hope together. You don’t have to walk this road alone.

Grief doesn’t disappear because we stay busy, stay strong, or learn how to function around the pain. Sometimes, healing begins when we give ourselves permission to sit with what hurts. You don’t have to force it. You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t have to grieve perfectly.
Just be willing to ask yourself:
What am I avoiding, and what might I need to feel?
