Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. 💜

Some days, you may feel steady. Other days, a song, a familiar place, or a date on the calendar brings the hurt rushing back. That doesn’t mean you’ve gone backward.

Grief can follow the loss of a loved one, a relationship, your health, or the life you thought you’d have. You may cry, feel numb, need quiet, or find yourself laughing—and none of those moments erase what you’ve lost.

You don’t have to compare your grief to anyone else’s. Give yourself room to feel, rest, and reach for support.

🐻‍❄️🧊 Meet Polar Bear Phil! His favorite coping skill? Taking an ice-cold plunge! 🥶💦

Phil takes “chilling out” pretty literally. 😂 While icy water is his happy place, everyone’s coping toolkit looks different. Yours might include music, art, movement, or talking with someone you trust. 💜

Anxiety can feel loud—racing thoughts, tense muscles, and the urge to escape. You’re not broken, and you don’t have to face it alone. 💜

When things feel overwhelming, start small:
👣 Feel your feet on the floor.
🌬️ Take a slow, comfortable breath.
🌿 Notice what’s around you.
🙆 Relax your shoulders or gently stretch.
💬 Speak to yourself with the kindness you’d offer a friend.

You don’t have to make every feeling disappear. Give yourself permission to pause and find what helps you through this moment.

Grateful for incredible partnerships!

Some packages mean a little more. 💜☕

Thank you, Barb and Rene, for the thoughtful gifts and kind note. I’m grateful to be working with the Center for Su***de Awareness and helping share their message here in Rochester.

And a special shoutout to the The Green Bay Grinch . I first reached out after seeing your post during the Jets game, and little did I know you would help connect me with Barb and Rene. One idea for a coffee bag grew into three Coffee With a Purpose blends and a partnership I’m proud of. Thanks for helping open that door. 💚💜 (more designed bags will be available soon!)

Every coffee or tea purchase sends $2 to the Center for Su***de Awareness. If you or someone you know needs support, text “HOPELINE” to 741741.

Rochester NY, get ready bc Kory at But Coffee First will be making little gifts to hand out tonight.

One of our youngest volunteers is ready to help make Halloween a little sweeter! 🎃🍬

He and his mama, Sheila, helped get the treats ready for today’s Green Bay Gamblers game. We’re so grateful for their time, energy, and big hearts. Our future is in good hands with young people who are already showing up for their community. 💙

Happy Halloween, and go Gamblers! 🏒

Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers on their FIRST World Series championship! 🏆

From all of us at the Center for Su***de Awareness, thank you for giving Wisconsin so much to celebrate. What a moment for the players, coaches, and fans who have been cheering for this team for generations!

And to Bob Uecker—the voice, humor, and heart of Brewers baseball for so many of us—this celebration has a little extra love in it for you. We wish you were here to call this one. 💙💛

As October comes to a close, shorter days, changing routines, and the approaching holiday season can bring a mix of emotions.

For some, this season feels joyful. For others, it may bring added stress, grief, loneliness, difficult memories, or financial pressure. However this time of year feels for you, your emotions are valid—and you are allowed to move through the season in the way that best supports your well-being. 💜

That may mean setting boundaries, simplifying traditions, making space for rest, connecting with supportive people, or asking for help when things feel heavy.

At the Center for Su***de Awareness, we meet people where they are. If you or someone you care about could use emotional support, our free, confidential HOPELINE™ is available 24/7.

Text HOPELINE™ to 741741 to connect with a real person.
