Carrying June

FINDING LIGHT AGAIN

In the depths of grief, many of us search for something greater — for signs, for meaning, for hope. These stories reflect spiritual awakenings, moments of quiet faith, and the flickers of light that helped families hold on through the darkest times.

"hope is not the absence of grief — it's the thread we hold onto while grieving."

Your story matters. Each experience of loss is unique, yet in sharing our journeys, we create connection and meaning. Consider adding your voice to our community.

My Daughter’s Birth Chart Is One Way I Keep Her Alive

Written by Taryn Jarboe, RN

Our daughter June, an Earth sign, was born on the cusp of Virgo-Libra on September 22nd. The year she was born, the twenty-second day of September, was also the first day of Autumn. June, rooted in Mother Earth, traveled into the world on the first day of the first season of the rest of her life.

But June, the most astrologically grounded of my three children, has departed Mother Earth. She passed away at eighteen months old, after nearly a year long battle with neuroblastoma.

She’s taken wings, and today, soars above the material world. June is in the heavens. My heavens. Where the clouds are fluffy pillows perfect for midday naps and the stars twinkle all hours of the day.
