Grief can feel like a journey you're walking alone, but remember it's okay to lean on others. Whether you need a listening ear, help with daily tasks, or professional guidance, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We all need support sometimes. Embrace the love and kindness around you. 💙 #GriefTip #StrengthInSupport

We are passionate about caring for our community and our planet. On a day like Earth Day, we know how important it is to minimize our own carbon footprint.

When we lose someone we love, the religious and cultural traditions we practice can bring us comfort and healing during a difficult time. While many of us are familiar with our own religious traditions surrounding death, we may not know how different faith traditions mark the passing of their community members. In the video below, we have summarized how several religions understand and approach death and the rituals they have built to honor and support those they have lost.
To learn more about how different religions honor their lost loved ones, please visit https://sharelife.com/how-different-religions-honor-their-lost-loved-ones/. Please also note that the information we have compiled is a broad take on religious customs and traditions, and is not meant to be instructional. If you are looking for guidance on how to comply with your own faith tradition, consider contacting your local clergy or religious leader to help guide you.
Since 1970, the month of January has been observed as National Blood Donor Month. Because of busy holiday schedules, bad weather, and seasonal illnesses, winter is one of the most difficult times of year to collect enough blood products to meet patient needs which is why this observance is so important. Though the holidays are over, give one final greatest gift of all by donating blood and saving a life.

Every year, the third Saturday of December is known as National Wreaths Across America Day.

If you would like to sponsor a wreath, volunteer, donate, find a location near you, or learn more about National Wreaths Across America Day, please visit, www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.
The first Tuesday after Thanksgiving is known as Giving Tuesday.

How will you give back today?

Reflections of Honor, A Virtual Memorial Day Tribute
We know that Memorial Day looks a bit different this year, and we believe it’s important that our community continues to honor the heroes that have sacrificed their lives for our country. We have invited veterans to share their messages of hope and remembrance, which are particularly powerful during this challenging time. We may not be able to go out and celebrate as a community, but we can honor those who have served us and remember the significance of Memorial Day together.
