“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted…” — Psalm 34:18 🕊
We celebrate the life and legacy of Mr. Willie Robertson Jr. As his family navigates this difficult moment, we ask that you hold them in your prayers. May God restore their hearts, renew their strength, and comfort them with His unending love. May his memory be a gentle reminder of God’s goodness and the gift of a life well lived.

🌊 DAY 5 — When the Waves Hit

Grief doesn’t come in order — it crashes. One moment you’re fine, the next, the ache returns. Don’t fight it. Let the wave pass and remind yourself you’ve survived every one before.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.”
— Isaiah 43:2

💭 Take it one breath, one prayer, one day at a time.

🍰 DAY 4 — Keep Their Traditions Alive

You can honor them by remembering them. Cook their favorite meal. Play their song. Tell their stories. Traditions don’t have to end — they can evolve into legacies of love.

“But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him.”
— Psalm 103:17

🕯 Every act of remembrance keeps their light shining.

🌻 DAY 3 — Release the “Should”

The holidays bring expectations — what we should cook, where we should go, how we should act. But grief changes capacity. You’re not the same, and that’s okay.

Give yourself permission to do less this year. Rest is holy. Your worth isn’t measured by how much you do — it’s in who you are and Whose you are.

“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28

✨ Choose peace over pressure, presence over performance.

💧 DAY 2 — Feel What You Feel

You don’t owe anyone “holiday cheer.” Some days, peace looks like tears. Other days, laughter surprises you out of nowhere. Both belong to your healing.

Grief is sacred work — and every tear is seen by God. Don’t silence your emotions; surrender them. He can handle what you can’t explain.

“You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in Your bottle.”
— Psalm 56:8

💛 It’s okay to cry, to rest, to just breathe.

🌾 DAY 1 — The Empty Seat

There’s a silence that follows loss — a space that used to hold laughter, warmth, and love. Don’t rush to fill it. Honor it. Light a candle, set a place, whisper a prayer. That empty seat is proof of a life that mattered.

Take comfort in knowing their presence isn’t gone; it’s simply changed.
Love doesn’t vanish — it lives quietly inside you now.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
— Matthew 5:4

🕊 Today, thank God for the love that still lives in your heart.

The holidays aren’t always easy. For many, this season carries both love and loss. The laughter feels a little quieter, the seat feels a little emptier, and the memories come a little stronger.

At Journet & Bolden Funeral Home, we understand that grief doesn’t take a holiday. 💛

That’s why, starting today, we’re sharing 10 gentle grief tips leading up to Thanksgiving — daily reminders to help you breathe, remember, and find grace through the season.

We’re calling this series “Grace for the Grieving: Finding Peace Before the Feast.”

Each post will offer comfort, scripture-inspired wisdom, and space to honor your loved ones in your own way.

🕯 Follow along with us over the next 10 days as we walk together toward gratitude, healing, and peace.
