Today we honor Children’s Grief Awareness Day — a reminder that children grieve too, and their feelings deserve understanding, patience, and care.

Here are 3 ways to help a grieving child this season:
1️⃣ Listen without fixing. Let them share memories, ask questions, and express feelings in their own way.
2️⃣ Keep routines steady. Familiar schedules and traditions bring comfort during uncertain times.
3️⃣ Talk openly. Use simple, honest words about loss — it helps them make sense of what they’re feeling.

Every child’s grief journey is unique. With love, patience, and support, healing is possible.

Krystalee Amber Krey Bowles (1986-2025)

Our beloved Krystalee “Goose” Amber Krey Bowles (age 39) graduated to Heaven on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. She was held in the tender embrace of her eternal companion while surrounded by her loving family. She passed away at the Jacobs Medical Center at UC San Diego in California. She fought valiantly, with courage and grace, in her battle against pancreatic cancer, and proved to be a true and mighty warrior.

Krys was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, coworker, and friend to literally every single person she met. She will be remembered for her radiant smile, love, kindness, empathy, intelligence, adventurous spirit, competitive drive, silliness, and steadfast faith. She packed more life into her thirty-nine years than most people could in an entire lifetime.

The holidays can feel different when someone we love is no longer here. If you're grieving this season, here are a few gentle ways to care for your heart:

✨ Create a small tradition in their honor — light a candle, share a favorite story, or make their favorite dish.
✨ Give yourself permission to say “no” to events that feel overwhelming.
✨ Reach out — to a friend, a support group, or a grief counselor. You don’t have to carry it alone.

We’re here for you, today and always.
