The blue forget-me-not flower carries a simple message: love doesn’t end with death, and healing doesn’t mean forgetting.

It’s one of the natural icons you’ll find throughout our grief center, each chosen with care to reflect the space around it. Every symbol has its own story, too, just like the people and experiences that fill these rooms 🩵

Check out our very own Tanya on last week’s episode of On Deck Warrior Stories! Sarah with SammyStrong hosts a panel conversation about the journey following a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Hear Tanya talk about the difference between comfort and support alongside fellow panelists Dr. Linden Fornoff, pediatric neurosurgeon, and child life specialist Debbie Wagers.
Together, they explore what support can look like in the face of immense difficulty and some of the ways we can create hope along the way 🌟

For the first time in 6 years, we hosted Camp Hope 🏕️💛
Last weekend, we welcomed eight campers in beautiful southwest Iowa at Camp High Hopes. Between archery, fishing, songwriting, a campfire with a luminary ceremony, and so much more, campers left with new friends who "get it" 🫂
