The shock of losing my dad, James Victor Albo (11/11/48-09/29/23) is still so difficult three years later and knowing I have a community to support me and my family is what carried me through this last few years.
My dad loved family more than anything else and was so good about taking videos and pictures of all of us, especially his five grandchildren. I was very fortunate to have had five grandparents be a part of my life even after becoming a mom. My great-grandmother Mollie died at almost 105, my Abuela Rosa lived into her 80s, and my Abuelo Abraham, Grandma Elaine, and Grandma Jack lived into their 90s. Losing my dad at age 74 was too soon and the grief support I have received from CBC helped me through the last two years. CBC participants and staff support me as I keep his memory alive and they remind me that my dad and my grandparents are always in my heart.
Please donate to my Steps for Healing run to help me remember my dad and support all grieving families by raising funds for Children's Bereavement Center and our Lift From Loss adult programming to ensure we can continue to provide FREE grief support groups for children, teens, and adults in our community.
