Make Life Swyter

This 👇

Some people are drowning in pain you’ll never see.
They laugh at work.
They show up for their families.
They post smiling pictures online…
…and then cry alone in the dark when no one’s watching.
This month — and every month — remember:
Not all pain is visible. Not all trauma leaves scars you can see.
To the ones silently battling depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, childhood trauma, or heartbreak so deep it changed the way they breathe…
We see you. We honor you. We’re holding space for you. 🕊️
If you’re struggling, your story isn’t over. You are not a burden. You are loved. And you are worth fighting for.
✨ Please check on your strong friends. Be kind on purpose. Love out loud.

A step in the right direction. Hopefully other states will follow suit!

Mental health screenings will soon be required for students in Illinois alongside annual vision and hearing exams.

Sharing information regarding su***de grief support group meetings being held by Locke Funeral Services in Waterloo. I was so happy to see this resource become available in the Cedar Valley.

Locke is who helped us with Tyler's funeral planning and services, and to say they went above and beyond for our family is an understatement. The kindness and empathy that every single staff member showed to us in our time of need has never been forgotten, and has always been appreciated. They hold a special place in our hearts and always will.

Join us for our grief support sessions this April.

Grief Support Daytime and Evening Meetings: ➡️ Every Thursday: April 3, 10, 17, 24

Su***de Grief Support Meetings: ➡️ Biweekly on Wednesdays: April 2 & 16
