“Now it’s like, there are a few waves. They come; they go. But for the most part, you can see the horizon, you can see the sun.” — Luke On World Mental Health Day, Luke’s story reminds us of the importance of having space to talk about grief, express difficult emotions, and find support. 💙 Luke has experienced several significant losses throughout his life. After his older brother died by suicide, substance use changed the dynamics of his home. Years later, his older sister died from an overdose. Luke also experienced the deaths of both of his parents before he turned 30. Through therapy and Kate’s Club, Luke found support to better understand his grief, speak openly about difficult emotions, and connect with people who could relate to his experiences. By sharing his story, Luke hopes to turn his pain into something positive and remind children, teens, and young adults that they do not have to navigate grief alone. Today, we encourage you to check in with yourself and the people you care about. Whatever your grief looks like, you deserve connection, compassion, and support.

Memory Walk is only 1 month away! Register at give.gofundme.com/atlmw26 or give.gofundme.com/watkinsvillemw26 by 10/11 to guarantee a t-shirt in the correct size! -- “Community” is the word Kristen uses to describe Memory Walk. 🫂 At her first Memory Walk, Kristen realized it was a space where grief, remembrance, connection, and joy could exist together. That inspired her to bring Memory Walk to Northeast Georgia so more families could experience that same sense of community. Join Kate’s Club for the 2026 Memory Walk on Sunday, November 8, from 2–5 p.m. at Wire Park in Watkinsville, Georgia or from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Blackburn Park in Brookhaven, Georgia. 🔗 Watkinsville Walk: https://pro.gofundme.com/event/the-2026-memory-walk-go-team-kates-club-watkinsville/e832580 🔗 Brookhaven Walk: https://pro.gofundme.com/event/the-2026-memory-walk-go-team-kates-club-atlanta/e832544

Today, on the National Day of Remembrance for Homicide Victims, we honor the lives of those who were killed and the families who continue to love and remember them. Grief does not follow one timeline. Families may remember a loved one by sharing stories, keeping traditions, or finding new ways to carry their memory. Each person’s grief is their own, and no family should have to navigate it alone. Katrina shared how she and her children remember her husband and make space for their different experiences of grief. Read her story: https://www.katesclub.org/blog/remembering-a-husband-and-father-after-homicide #DayOfRemembrance #HomicideVictims #GriefSupport

1000s of kids across Georgia will spend their Father's Day missing their dad instead of celebrating with them. Omari, Kinglsey, and Donta share how losing their dad affected their family and how Kate's Club helped them find support. We are thinking of anyone who is grieving their father or father figure today. 💙 #grief #fathersday #dadloss #fathergrief #grievingchildren #griefandloss #grieving

Courtney's dad died in 2021, and even 5 years after his death, she finds him in unexpected places. She sees her dad in Sam Elliot when she watches the show Landman; she finds him in the giant Jenga sets at the Kate's Club Clubhouse, which her dad made; and she finds him in the small, generous moments, of which he had so many. Our hearts are with everyone who is grieving their dad or father figure this Father's Day. ❤️ To read Courtney's full story about her dad and Father's Day, click the link in our bio. #grief #dadloss #grieving #griefsucks #fatehrsday #griefsupport #griefandloss
