Our village is truly a blessing! A Heartfelt thanks to AG Plumbing in Weslaco, who generously gifted Aurora House with a brand-new washer. We do an average of 75 loads of laundry a week and having both washing machines working is crucial to the comfort of our patients.

A huge thank you to Armando, Cesar, & Eddie for your incredible donation!! Thank you AG Plumbing! Please support those who support our community.

For those who are in the LGBTQ+ community, it might seem challenging to process grief. In a world that often stigmatizes LGBTQ+ relationships and individuals, loss can often be hard to navigate and recognize.

Learn below the different variations of grief that can occur in the LGBTQ+ community and strategies for how to cultivate LGBTQ-affirming bereavement spaces. Follow us this July, during minority mental health awareness month, to discover more inclusive ways to discuss grief.

You're invited to Dinner! 💀🍽️🍝

Death is the one thing none of us can avoid. So why not talk about it over dinner? Join us for Aurora House Foundation's first ever Death over Dinner- an evening of real conversation, open hearts, curious minds, and a nice Italian dinner.

📅July 29th, 2025
🕒7:00pm-9:00pm
📍2646 W. 18th St. Weslaco Tx., 78596- Education Building
🎟️Free event, dinner will be provided- RSVP prior to attending.

Why have this conversation over dinner you may be asking... The dinner table is the most forgiving place for difficult conversations. The ritual of breaking bread creates warmth and connection, and puts us in touch with our humanity. Death over Dinner is a group directed discussion about death, dying, and important end-of-life questions. This is not a support group or counseling session, but an opportunity to have an open conversation.

We will have Alejandra Ivanez, Pre-Planning Advising Manager, joining us for dinner, who will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Grief can appear when we least expect it, and often it can be difficult to identify it. In honor of Independence Day, let's recognize the independence of grief and how it may come in many forms.

Learn more about how to recognize grief and its ability to act independently in your life below.

Read my favorite article about Independence from grief from Hospice Foundation of America. It’s time to find independence from your grief. Read more to find out how.
