The Pharr City Commission approved a proclamation declaring November 2025 as Children’s Grief Awareness Month, recognizing the many challenges children face after losing a loved one. The proclamation, which encourages the community to wear blue and participate in local events, was accepted by Noelynn Llaso, Administrative Manager for the Children’s Bereavement Center Rio Grande Valley. “Here in the Rio Grande Valley, so many children are growing up with the loss of a parent and managing grief. Our mission is to make sure no child has to grieve alone,” Llaso shared.
The Children’s Bereavement Center will host a Candlelight Vigil of Remembrance and Hope on Thursday, November 20 at 6:00 p.m. at 104 S. 12th St. in McAllen. Residents are invited to join for an evening of reflection, connection, and remembrance, bringing a photo of their loved one and wearing blue in honor of grieving children and families.
The City of Pharr is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged on their journey of healing.
