Once you’ve sat in the front row at a funeral, you see life a little differently.
You love harder.
You listen more.
You hold on longer.
Grief changes you. Sometimes quietly, but always deeply.

It’s a question we get often, and it’s okay to ask. Every child is different, and we’re here to help make families feel supported and comfortable, whatever you decide.

Looking for a gentle way to connect with others who understand grief? Ground for Healing is a casual coffee gathering. No agenda, no pressure, just time to talk, listen, or simply be. Bring a friend or come as you are. All are welcome.

Instead of asking “Do you want me to bring something?”, just do it. Consider making them a freezer-friendly meal with reheating instructions. And sending a simple “I’m leaving a care package on your porch, no need to answer the door. Thinking of you.” text before you drop it off.

It’s a common question, and it’s okay to ask.
Every service is different. Sometimes families request guests to wear a loved one’s favorite color, a team jersey, or something that reflects their personality (you’ll often find that info in the obituary or service details). As long as you're dressing with respect and the intention to honor, you truly can’t go wrong. Remember, presence matters more than perfection.

Grief includes remembering the joyful parts of someone’s life. What was something your loved one absolutely loved? A favorite meal? Hobby? Movie? Let’s honor them today with a joyful memory. Tell us a little about your loved one in the comments.
