For many who are grieving, the days leading up to Valentine’s Day can feel especially heavy. A holiday centered on love, togetherness, and connection can quietly magnify what has been lost, long before the day itself arrives.
Loss is hard every day. No date on the calendar changes that truth. Yet Valentine’s Day often brings a flood of reminders—shared traditions, unspoken words, and the absence of the person who once filled this day with meaning.
If you find yourself dreading Valentine’s Day, please know that this is a perfectly normal response to loss. Grief does not follow a schedule, and love does not disappear simply because someone is gone. There is no right way to approach this day—whether you choose to acknowledge it, reshape it, or let it pass quietly.
At Moore Funeral Home, we understand how tender this holiday can be. We encourage you to be gentle with yourself, to honor your feelings as they come, and to lean on others when the weight feels too heavy to carry alone. You are not alone, and your grief—and your love—continue to matter.
