Fact: Funerals and memorial services can be as unique as the person being honored. Religious, spiritual, secular, or a blend of traditions—there's no right or wrong way to say goodbye. What matters most is that it feels meaningful to you.

It's one of the most important conversations you'll ever have—and one of the hardest to start. But talking about end-of-life wishes now is one of the most loving things you can do for the people you care about.

Not sure where to begin? Here are five caring ways to start:

1. Use someone else's story. A movie, a news story, or a friend's experience can open the door naturally.
2. Start with your own wishes. Lead by example: "I've been thinking about what I'd want someday..."
3. Frame it as a gift, not a burden. Sharing your wishes gives your family peace of mind.
4. Keep it casual. Some of the best conversations happen on a walk, over coffee, or during a long car ride.
5. Break it into smaller conversations. You don't have to cover everything at once. Start with one topic and build from there.

The goal isn't to have all the answers. It's just to start.

As we enter a new year, remember that lasting change doesn't come from drastic resolutions — it comes from small, consistent habits.

Consider trying:

• Start a simple weekly routine: A gratitude list, Sunday reset, or 10-minute walk can create grounding and stability.

• Set micro-goals: Instead of “get organized,” try “organize one shelf each week.” Instead of “be healthier,” try “add one nutritious food each day.”

• Connect intentionally: Schedule one coffee, one phone call, or one shared meal with someone meaningful to you each month.

• Protect your time: Say “yes” to what fills your cup and “no” to what drains it.

• Create calm moments: Light a candle, play soft music, or spend a few minutes journaling to center yourself.

Small steps may not seem life-changing on their own — but together, they create a year built on clarity, progress, and personal well-being.

Did you know that smell is the sense most closely linked to memory?

The olfactory bulb connects directly to the brain's emotional center, which is why a specific perfume, the smell of fresh-cut grass, or your grandmother's cooking can instantly transport you back in time.

This is why many people find comfort in keeping a loved one's clothing, cologne, or even visiting places they frequented. These scents can trigger powerful, healing memories.

This Saturday, December 13th, is National Wreaths Across America Day. 🇺🇸

More than two million volunteers across the country will gather to lay wreaths on veterans' graves as a symbol of respect, remembrance, and gratitude.

The 2025 theme is "Keep Moving Forward"—inspired by the last words of Captain Joshua Byers, who gave his life serving in Iraq in 2003.

How you can participate:

Visit a local cemetery and honor a veteran's grave
Donate or sponsor a wreath at wreathsacrossamerica.org
Share a story about a veteran in your family
Teach younger generations about the sacrifice of our military members
Simply take a moment of silence at 12:00 PM local time

Love doesn't end.

Even in loss, the connections we've built continue in the stories, memories, and moments we carry forward. May today bring a gentle reminder of the people who remain forever in your heart.

12/01/2025

The first holiday season without someone you love can be quite difficult. The traditions feel incomplete. The gathering feels quieter.

It's okay to:

Feel sad even when others are celebrating
Skip traditions that hurt too much
Leave early if you need to
Cry when their favorite song plays
Create a new way to honor their memory

It's also okay to:

Laugh at a cherished memory
Feel joy and grief at the same time
Light a candle and talk to them

There's no right way to do this. Be gentle with yourself. Feel what you need to feel.
