Words for the Journey

Discover a sanctuary of perspectives, tools, and shared experiences written for people living with grief.

Birthdays are supposed to be fun,

but since you’ve passed away,

Birthdays are nothing but sadness.

You’re not here anymore; 

smiling, laughing, talking and celebrating with us.

The only thing I have now are memories of you.

During the holidays, and especially on your birthdays,

they aren’t enough.

But I am grateful for all the years we were together.

You are, and always will be my sister.

For that, I want you to know how special you are to me.

I will never forget you, especially on your birthday.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Dear Sister
