Review the grief page Why We Remember for ideas.

Virtual Community Week of Wellness provides a different activity each day that helps us find meaning in our grief through the help of grief specialists and experts in their individual fields.

Celebrate the life of a family member or friend by creating a webpage about them on our Memorial Wall. You can establish a permanent memorial and invite others to add to the memorial with photos, stories, and more. You can light a virtual candle or donate in memory of those who have died. We welcome your participation and hope you find this to be a meaningful way to remember your person as you move forward on your journey from grief towards hope and healing.

Past Event Highlights & Photos

Over 1,000 people came together as a community to honor and normalize the journey of grief at the annual OUR HOUSE 5K: Walk & Remember on April 27, 2025. Our hearts are absolutely bursting from all the love that was shown! To every single person who participated, donated, spread the word, and brought this event to life: THANK YOU! We are so moved by the outpouring of support for our grieving community.

It’s a rare and incredibly precious opportunity to be in a space with hundreds of other people — many of them complete strangers — who are all there to witness one another through the journey of grief. To say we are humbled is an understatement. Thank you for believing in our mission of creating a world where no one walks the path of grief alone.
