This AAPI Heritage Month, we honor and uplift Asian American and Pacific Islander children and families in our communities. 💙

According to our 2021 CBEM Key Topic Report on Race & Ethnicity, 1 in 26—about 176,430—Asian or Pacific Islander children in the U.S. will experience the death of a parent or sibling by their 18th birthday.

At Judi’s House, we remain committed to understanding these experiences and ensuring culturally responsive support for every child who needs it.

We’re feeling so inspired after this year’s Colfax Marathon! 🎉

A huge shoutout to everyone from Judi’s House who laced up this weekend. You showed incredible strength and heart. We’re also extremely grateful for our amazing volunteers who spent the day at our table, sharing our mission with Denver and supporting the community. 💙

We couldn’t be more proud of this dedicated, compassionate team. Thank you for showing up and making a difference! 🏃‍♀️👏

And a special thank-you to every runner who chose Judi’s House as their charity for the race. Your support helps us continue to show up for grieving children and families in meaningful ways.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re holding space for the ways grief shapes our emotional well-being. At Judi’s House, we see how children, teens, and young adults carry the weight of someone important no longer being here each and every day. For many, experiencing grief can impact mental health in profound ways.

Grief isn’t something to “get over.” It’s something to be supported through, with compassion, connection, and community. 💙

This Mother’s Day, Judi’s House CEO Micki Burns joined 9NEWS (KUSA) to talk about how holidays can stir up grief in powerful and unexpected ways.

If you’re missing someone, it’s okay to feel it all. Give yourself permission to grieve, and remember you don’t have to do it alone. Lean into your community, accept support, and allow others to show up for you. 💙

Mother's Day can stir up a lot of feelings. It's about showering mom with love, but for some, the day can dredge up feelings of sadness and loss.
