This morning reminded me of something many families impacted by loss already know:
Grief does not always show up on anniversaries, birthdays, or holidays.
Sometimes it arrives on an ordinary morning while you're making coffee, cleaning the house, or preparing for the day ahead.
A song, a photograph, a thought, or a memory can bring a loved one rushing back into your heart.
For those who have lost a child, sibling, parent, friend, or loved one to violence, please know that your grief is valid. Your tears are valid. Your love is valid.
Healing does not mean forgetting. It means learning how to carry love and loss together.
Today, we honor every family carrying memories that never fade and love that never ends.
You are not alone.
❤️
