Losing my dad in 2019 changed the way I see the world. Grief can show up in holidays, milestones and completely ordinary afternoons.

Why This Matters

It taught me that time is precious and that grief does not follow a schedule. Happiness and sadness can exist in the same life.

The Heart Behind It

I wanted people to know Dad as a generous, caring person—not only as someone who died from cancer. That desire eventually helped inspire the Glen Adnam Cancer Comfort Basket Foundation.

Moving Forward

Grief does not need to become an accomplishment. But when we are ready, we may find ways to carry love into the future.
