Before the first day back to school, some kids are already carrying a loss the classroom won't know about. One hour they seem fine; the next they fall apart over something small — and to the adults watching, it's easy to misread.

Our new article covers how children carry loss, why it so often goes unseen at school, and what parents, family, and teachers can do to help — including a section written for teachers.

Discover how back-to-school grief can affect parents facing loss, and find support during this challenging season.

"I don't want a funeral." Many families have heard this. Do you know what the person who said it actually meant?

We wrote about how families interpret "no funeral" — and what they end up doing. (Hint: only about 1 in 5 take it to mean do nothing.) Read the full post below.

When people say I don't want a funeral, what does that mean? There's a lot of space between doing nothing and doing something simpler.

Father's Day is an easy one for some people. A phone call, a cookout, a card, and a hug if they're close by. For others, it's harder. Maybe you lost your dad years ago. Maybe this is the first Father's Day without him. Maybe you're just not sure whether to visit the cemetery or let the day pass quietly.

However the day lands for you this year, there's no single right way to spend it. A few gentle thoughts for getting through the day:

Remember Dad on Father's Day, however you choose to: visit the cemetery, share stories, or simply let the day pass quietly.

The closest finish in Indy 500 history came down to twenty-three thousandths of a second. From the stands, two cars looked side by side. The difference was almost too small to see.

Summer can be like that for some of us. From the outside, everyone's at the same cookout under the same sun — but the space between how summer looks and how it feels can make all the difference.

Memorial Day is behind us. Summer is unofficially here. If you're not quite feeling it, our new blog takes a closer look.

It's summer, and you're not quite feeling it. A piece about seasonal nostalgia, Summer SAD, and the grief the season can stir up.

Memorial Day began as a day to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country — a debt we can never fully repay, and one we remember together each May. Over time, the weekend has also grown to hold the others we've lost — a grandmother, a friend, a child gone too soon. If you're not sure how to mark the day, here are a few ideas worth considering.

Memorial Day doesn't have to look one way. A few small, simple ideas for marking the day — wherever the weekend finds you.
