The holidays can feel confusing for children who are grieving.

Simple rituals can help them feel connected, seen, and supported — whether it’s hanging a special ornament, sharing a story, or lighting a candle together.

Small gestures matter.

And little hearts need gentle spaces to remember. ❤️

If your family is navigating grief this season, you’re not alone.

It means so much to us to be part of these special moments that bring our community closer. We love seeing families and friends gather to create lasting memories during this beautiful season.
