January can feel heavy. If you’re grieving, here are three gentle ideas that might help:
1) Light a candle each evening and speak a memory out loud.
2) Take a short walk and notice one thing that brings you peace.
3) Create a small memory space at home with a photo and a note.
However you honor your person, you’re not alone.

The holidays can hold both beauty and sadness.
If you're feeling the weight of grief this season, please know this:

It’s okay to not be okay.
You don’t have to pretend. You don’t have to push through.
Your feelings are real, valid, and deserving of compassion.

Take the moments you need.
Lean on the people who care.
You are not alone. ❤️

This Thanksgiving, we reflect on the precious gift of time spent with loved ones and the memories that live on in our hearts. At Smith Funeral Chapel, we understand that the holidays can bring both joy and remembrance of those who are no longer with us at the table.

We are grateful for the trust families place in us during their most difficult moments. Your stories, your loved ones, and the honor of serving you remind us daily why our work matters.

Whether you're celebrating with family or holding cherished memories close, we hope you find comfort in knowing that love never truly leaves us.

How do you honor the memory of loved ones during the holidays? 🕊️
