As we conclude our Memorial Day celebrations, I hope everyone took the time to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Though often seen as the start of summer, Memorial Day carries a deeper meaning that we should hold close. First and foremost, it is a day of remembrance. It's a significant opportunity for us to pay our respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Whether you have family members who served or simply want to show your appreciation, taking a moment of silence or visiting a local memorial can be a powerful way to honor their legacy. Our freedoms are safeguarded by the selflessness of these heroes, and we must always remember that. Gratitude is another key aspect of Memorial Day. It’s crucial to show our appreciation not only to those who have lost their lives but also to the families they left behind. These families carry a heavy burden, and it's up to us to support them and demonstrate that their loved ones' sacrifices were not in vain. Sending heartfelt messages, attending Memorial Day parades, or volunteering with organizations that support veterans and their families are just a few ways to express our gratitude. Finally, Memorial Day is about community. It’s a time for us to come together, reflect, celebrate, and support each other. Hosting or attending a gathering, barbecue, or even a small get-together can strengthen our bonds and provide opportunities to share stories and memories. Even small gestures like flying the American flag or wearing red, white, and blue can foster a sense of unity and patriotism. In conclusion, while Memorial Day may often be seen as a long weekend or a chance to fire up the grill, let's not overlook its profound significance. Remembrance, gratitude, and community are the pillars that uphold the true spirit of this day. As we come together this Memorial Day, take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made, express your gratitude, and cherish the company of your loved ones. Happy Memorial Day! May it be filled with reflection, appreciation, and togetherness. 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember #CommunityStrength #HelpersOfChange

As I contemplated reposting this, I realized the significance of discussing grief in the workplace. Losing someone you interact with daily, suddenly and unexpectedly, is incredibly difficult to process. We spend the majority of our time with colleagues, sometimes more than with our own families. Shannon's passing was a profound shock, and I found myself shedding tears at my desk, trying to carry on with work. This was my first experience of grief at work. I was tasked with organizing grief counselors to come on-site and their presence was pivotal in helping us navigate the complex stages of grief. My interactions with Shannon were always marked by kindness. She made me feel like part of the ATS family from day one, particularly with her love for sharing sweet treats with the team and daily welcoming gestures. I miss our daily interactions, from sharing laughs to small talk about her kids and daily life. These are the moments I miss the most. Grief is a new territory for me, a maze of emotions that demand to be felt and acknowledged. It doesn't adhere to a timeline; reminders can bring the pain rushing back as if it happened yesterday. Working through that week was one of the toughest challenges I've EVER faced. I'm grateful for the time off my workplace provided afterward, allowing me to reset and connect with activities that brought solace. Even now, I'm still processing Shannon's death. To those unexpectedly navigating grief in the workplace, I offer this: take time off, lean on your support network, welcome your feelings and know that ALL your feelings are valid.
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved colleague, Shannon McCarville-Lau. Her departure from our midst leaves a profound void in our hearts and in our team. Shannon was more than just a colleague; she was a cherished member of our work-family, a friend, and beloved presence in our workplace. Her warmth, kindness, and dedication touched all of us who had the privilege to work alongside her. A memorial service to honor Shannon's life will be held on Saturday, April 20th, 2024 from 4:00pm – 8:00pm at Oakhill Funeral Home & Memorial Park, 300 Curtner Ave, San Jose, CA 95125. All are welcome to attend. If you'd like to contribute to support Shannon's family during this challenging time, you can do so through the following links: Go Fund Me: https://lnkd.in/gXyex-uE Meal Train: https://lnkd.in/gk8MCeTv Our thoughts and prayers are with Shannon's family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Housing is a human right. Housing is Healthcare. Homelessness is not a crime.
"It is not enough to remember the people we miss. There is still an epic fight ahead for the living. On this Homeless Persons' Memorial Day, we mourn the lost, and we renew our commitment to a world where housing is a right—not a privilege. A world where we care for one another—regardless of who we are, where we live, and how we got there. A world where love triumphs."

As a veteran, I understand that Memorial Day can be a bit confusing to navigate. It’s more than just a long weekend; it’s a time to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. If you're wondering how to truly celebrate Memorial Day tomorrow, here are a few meaningful ways: 🇺🇸Visit a Memorial or Cemetery: Pay your respects by visiting a local memorial or cemetery. Placing flowers or flags on the graves of fallen soldiers is a powerful gesture of remembrance. 🇺🇸Attend a Memorial Day Ceremony: Many communities hold ceremonies or parades to honor the fallen. Participating in these events can be a heartfelt way to show your respect and gratitude. 🇺🇸Pause for a Moment of Silence: At 3 PM local time, join the National Moment of Remembrance. It’s a small act, but a collective pause can have a big impact. 🇺🇸Support Veterans: Consider donating to organizations that support veterans and their families. It’s a way to give back and ensure that their legacy lives on through continued support. 🇺🇸Share Stories and Memories: If you know a veteran or have family members who served, take the time to listen to their stories or share memories of those who are no longer with us. 🇺🇸Display the Flag: Fly the American flag at half-staff until noon, then raise it to full staff until sunset. It’s a traditional way to honor those who have fallen in the morning and salute living veterans in the afternoon. Remember, Memorial Day is about more than barbecues and beach trips (though I love those too!). It's a day to reflect, honor, and remember. #supportourveterans #veteranshelpingveterans #veteransupport #veteranlife #specialforces #supportourtroops
