Here’s to the people who light up our darkest days.

“Just try it.” 💜

When we asked past participants what they would tell other men about their experience in Mourning Hope’s Men’s Grief Support Group, the responses were simple:

“Go there.”
“Give it a try.”
“You should absolutely consider it if you’ve experienced grief.”

What mattered most?

Being around other men who understand.
Hearing different stories of loss.
Finally having a space to talk openly about grief — sometimes for the first time.
Having a designated time each week to sit with feelings that often get pushed aside.

Men often carry grief quietly. This group offers a space grounded in honesty, respect, and real conversation — no pressure, no expectations, just connection.

Men’s Grief Support begins March 18. If you — or a man in your life — could benefit from connection after a death loss, we encourage you to learn more and consider taking that first step.

Sometimes, as one participant put it, you just have to try it. 💜

What you see isn’t always the whole story. 💜

During a recent school-based grief group, students created paper dolls to explore the emotions they’ve experienced after a death.

On one side, many of the dolls were smiling, playing, laughing, and going about their day. But the other side told a different story.

Together, the group named the feelings they’ve carried since their loss and talked about how emotions can change — and how there are no “right” or “wrong” ways to grieve.

Moments like this are why school-based grief groups matter. When students realize they’re not alone, they begin to find connection, understanding, and support.

To learn more about offering grief support programming for students at your school, please reach out to Amy Lipins, our Grief Education Director, at alipins@mourninghope.org.

Creativity as comfort 💜

We’re so grateful to Kerri Roper of Party with a Paintbrush for leading a special painting activity at February’s Holding Hope group. She brought such kindness, energy, and compassion into the room — inviting each child to design their name canvas in a way that felt true to them.

Moments like these remind us how powerful creativity can be in the healing process.

Thank you, Kerri, for giving our kids a meaningful way to share what’s on their hearts. 💜

Grateful for generous hearts 💜

A heartfelt thank you to Sara Yates for donating dinner for our February Holding Hope group. Her kindness helped create a welcoming space where families could simply arrive, exhale, and be together.

At the end of the evening, Sara also shared her children’s book, Grief & I — a story we love to use in our Family Grief Support Groups as it gently explores what it means to live alongside grief. From a warm meal to meaningful conversation, her generosity helped care for families in more ways than one.

You can learn more about Grief & I here: https://www.amazon.com/Grief-I-Sara-Yates/dp/B0CYPBDZSW

If you or your business would ever like to help provide a meal for a future Holding Hope group, contact Hope, our volunteer coordinator, at hdacosta@mourninghope.org.

Because no one has to grieve alone. 💜

Our Family Grief Support Group begins NEXT Monday. 💜

When a family is grieving, it can feel isolating — even inside your own home. Family Group creates space for children, teens, and their caregivers to come together, share their experiences, and find connection with others who understand.

Designed for children and teens ages 4–18 and their adult caregivers, this peer-based group uses meaningful activities to help families honor the person who has died while building tools for navigating life after loss.

There is no cost to attend, but registration is required and space is limited.

If this feels like it could be helpful for your family—or a family you know—you can learn more and register here: https://www.mourninghope.org/services/programs/family.html

Please consider sharing this opportunity within your circles, workplace, church, or community networks. You never know who may be waiting for a sign that support exists. 💜

🐾 Today we’re celebrating National Love Your Pet Day by recognizing the incredible therapy dogs who support our grieving families.

Nanook and his handler join us to offer something powerful: quiet presence. Children often gravitate toward the dogs — petting, sitting close, or simply sharing space. In those moments, connection feels easier.

Sometimes healing begins with something as simple as a wagging tail. 💜

We’re so grateful for the comfort these animals bring to our community.

Healing rarely happens in giant leaps. More often, it’s found in small, brave choices made over and over again. Some days feel steady. Some feel impossibly heavy. And some hold both at once.

If today feels hard, remember you are not alone. And it doesn't matter how slowly you go, so long as you keep going. 💜
