Summer isn't over yet! There is still time to make memories and participate in enjoyable activities. If you're grieving the loss of someone you love, you might also consider honoring their memory in a special way. For example, you may choose to visit a favorite summer destination they enjoyed, make their favorite summertime meal or treat or create your own summer tradition to honor their memory.

🦋 Remembering with love. Healing with hope.

Hope’s Road Youth Bereavement recently joined Good Samaritan Hospice, a mission of Concordia Lutheran Ministries, for its 10th Annual Butterfly Release.

For children and families experiencing grief, moments like these can provide a special way to remember, reflect and feel connected to those they have lost. As the butterflies took flight, each one became a beautiful symbol of a cherished memory and the hope that carries us forward.

We are honored to walk alongside young people and their families as they navigate grief, helping them discover that even in loss, they are never alone. 🦋💜
