A place at the table. A loved one remembered. A gift to our neighbors.

Throughout November, we’re collecting nonperishable food for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. When you bring a donation, we invite you to write the name of someone you’re remembering on a place card and add it to our remembrance table.

It’s a simple way to honor someone you love while helping put food on another family’s table this Thanksgiving.

A heartfelt thank-you to Mary for the time, care, and thought she put into creating this special display.

You've probably been told, in some form, that you need to let go. You don't. You do not need to let go of your person, the memories, or the grief to re-engage with life. Healthy grieving is not so narrowly defined as that.

The relationship with your person changes from one with a physical body to something else. You learn to carry them differently: maybe you tell stories about shared experiences, write them letters, talk to them (or sometimes even yell at them), take up a cause that was important to them, or simply raise a glass on their special day in their name. Over time, it's not that the grief gets smaller. It's that your life grows bigger around it.

After my husband Rick died, I couldn't face those memories because they reminded me of what I had lost, day in and day out, it was too much to take in at once. Eventually, after many walks on the beach, therapy sessions, meditation, and conversations with friends and family, I was able to return to and embrace the memories. That was a choice I made, not one a professional forced on me or my family insisted upon. It naturally evolved with time and experience. Now those memories feel good to recall or retell, and I have not lost my connection to Rick or the life we shared.
