Healing Begins Here: The Empty Chair at Thanksgiving

That empty chair at the table next Thursday will be painfully visible. We see it. We acknowledge it. Your grief is real.

Some ways families honor their loved one at Thanksgiving:
🕯️ Light a candle in their memory
📸 Place their photo at the table
🗣️ Share favorite stories about them
🍽️ Make their favorite dish
🙏 Toast in their honor

Or... it's completely okay to:
• Skip the big gathering this year
• Leave early if it's too much
• Celebrate differently
• Not celebrate at all

There's no wrong way to get through Thursday. Do what your heart needs. 🧡

Healing Begins Here: Gratitude and Grief Can Live Together

As Thanksgiving approaches, you might feel pressure to 'be grateful' when your heart is broken. Here's the truth: You can be thankful for the time you had AND deeply sad it's over. Both feelings can exist at the same time.

It's okay to:

✓ Feel thankful and heartbroken

✓ Celebrate and cry

✓ Participate and need to step away

✓ Remember and grieve

Your grief doesn't make you ungrateful. Your love doesn't disappear because you're healing.

You're doing better than you think. 💛

🌿 Do I need a final resting place?

When a loved one passes, one of the most meaningful choices a family makes is deciding on a final resting place. It is more than a location — it is a place of remembrance, a record for generations, a source of comfort, and a lasting tribute.

At Roberts Funeral Home, each of our locations is built directly on a cemetery, offering families the peace of having every service — from the funeral to interment — in one sacred space.

Learn why a final resting place matters and explore the options available for your family in our latest blog below!

When a loved one passes, one of the most personal questions families face is: “Do I need a final resting place?” With choices like traditional cemetery burials or cremation with interment, it’s natural to feel uncertain about what’s best.

09/11/2025

Today we pause to remember the lives lost and the countless heroes who answered the call on September 11, 2001. We honor their memory, their courage, and the resilience shown in the face of tragedy. May we never forget the sacrifices made, and may we continue to cherish the values of unity, compassion, and hope.
