Today, we recognize DĂa de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), a beautiful Mexican tradition that honors and celebrates the lives of loved ones who have died.
Through colorful ofrendas (altars), marigolds, photographs, favorite foods, and cherished memories, families come together to remember those who are no longer physically with them. This meaningful tradition reminds us that although someone may die, the love we have for them and the memories we share continue to live on. đź’ś
For grieving children and teens, remembering someone who has died can bring many different emotions. There may be joy in sharing a favorite memory, sadness in missing their presence, or a mixture of both. There is room for all of these feelings.
Today, we hold space for every grieving child and family, honoring the many ways people remember, celebrate, and stay connected to those they love.
Whether through cultural traditions, sharing stories, looking at photographs, or simply saying their loved one's name, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to remember in a way that feels meaningful to them. đź’ś
May today be a reminder that grief and love can exist together, and that remembering is one of the many ways we carry our loved ones with us.
