June ushers in the endless days of summer. The excitement is in the air as another school year comes to an end and the hopes and dreams of those graduating and looking to the future.
But for many who are struggling with the loss of someone special, sunshine and endless summer days can hurt. The hopes and dreams for the future are broken and for some forever lost.
Although it's been years since Brian has been gone, June can sometimes activate painful emotions.
But as the years have moved forward, I learned how to navigate the tough days with a gentle softness in my heart. I learn that it's okay to feel sad on the days I feel sad. But I also learn to be happy in the moments when I remember that I deserve to be happy. And I remember my favorite Pooh Bear quote, "I am braver and stronger than I ever imagined".
If you find the days ahead difficult, allow yourself time to move slowly through your days. In time when it is right for you, learn that the sad days are to be honored. Understand that the happy moments are to be cherished and you will learn you are really are braver and stronger than you could ever imagine.
Always wishing you moments of peace.

When we talk about health, we often think about annual checkups, exercise, nutrition, and sleep. Mental health deserves that same attention.

This Men's Mental Health Month, we're helping break the silence around mental health challenges and reminding men everywhere that support is available.

Whether you're checking in on yourself, a friend, a father, a son, a brother, or a coworker, one conversation can make a difference.

No one should have to struggle in silence.
