What is El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)?
El Día de los Muertos, celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, is a joyful and meaningful holiday originating in Mexico and now celebrated in other parts of Latin America and the United States. This tradition honors and remembers those who have died, reflecting on the belief that death is a natural part of life’s journey. During this holiday, people honor the memories of their ancestors while celebrating life and community. November 1st: Día de los Angelitos (Day of the Little Angels) honors children who have died. November 2nd: Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) honors adults who have died. El Día de los Muertos is not intended to be a day of sadness, but a celebration of life, memory, and connection. It offers a meaningful way to reflect on the lives of those who have died and to ensure they remain present in spirit. Learn more and download some activity ideas through the links below. 

Question: What did you like most about group this week?

I like how kind and understanding everyone is. I just wish we had more time in group.

I love the sharing of everyone’s stories. It helps to alleviate some of the pain.

I enjoyed everything about the group!

I appreciated getting to hear from others and feeling safe sharing (and crying).

Hearing my son laugh in the next room 😉

Your generosity has a profound impact!

At The Collective for Hope, we are dedicated to offering FREE services to those in need, and we can do this because of YOU. Every donation, whether monetary or in-kind, plays a crucial role in enabling us to continue providing vital support to our community.

As we strive to enhance our services for Omaha’s grieving community, we invite you to consider how you can contribute. Recently, we have:

  • Taken a group of 10-18 year old youth on an overnight adventure at the zoo and to the beautiful Kiewit Luminarium for a photography workshop 
  • Expanded our team with dedicated staff, including an exceptional new Program Coordinator and Volunteer & Outreach Coordinator
  • Organized meaningful remembrance walks and events
  • Added an Anticipatory Grief Support Group for adults preparing for the death of a terminally ill family member
  • And we have even more exciting projects on the horizon!

Your support—whether it’s your time, talent, or financial contributions—makes all the difference. We truly can’t do this without you!

Host a Donation Drive!

If you’re interested in hosting a donation drive, we would be thrilled to provide you with materials, brochures, marketing pieces, and wish lists to share with your organization, workplace, or social group. It’s a wonderful way to give back and means so much to our community of grieving children, teens, and adults.

Thank you for your kindness and support! Together, we can continue to provide hope and healing.
