Today marks 25 years since September 11th, 2001. For many, the grief hasn’t gone away.

There’s collective grief: the shared silence, the flags, a whole country pausing together.

And there’s the individual grief: the people who lost someone specific that day. This grief doesn’t show up neatly on schedule, but is there, under the surface, every day.

Two people who are struggling this day can carry their grief in totally different ways. Some people might need to talk about it, while another needs quiet. Some mark the day every year. Others avoid it. There’s no single “right” way to grieve, and the people around us aren’t always able to see what we’re carrying.

Empathy’s here for all kinds of grief, whether it’s new or old. Grief — in all of its forms — shouldn’t be navigated alone. 💙

The hardest time to ask your parents what they want is when you urgently need an answer.

Cameron Huddleston knows this from both sides. As a personal finance journalist and author, she has spent years learning about the financial realities that come with life’s hardest moments. And as a caregiver for her mom, who has Alzheimer’s, she experienced firsthand what conversations are most important to have earlier rather than later.

In this clip from our recent webinar, The Legacy You’re Already Building, Cameron discusses the steps she’s grateful she took, as well as the steps she wishes she’d taken. It’s especially timely as September is .

As Cameron puts it, “You want to respect your parents’ wishes, but if you don’t know what they are, you’re just guessing.”

Avoid the guesswork. Empathy is here to help you navigate the conversations that really matter.

Last year, she won an Olympic gold. This year, she’s taking a break. ⛸️

If you’re not chasing the next big thing, you can start to wonder who you are or what your purpose is. 刘美贤 is stepping into that question on her own terms, trusting that growth doesn’t always have to look like performance.

A leave of absence might look like that. It also might look like recovering after a surgery, taking time to bond with your baby, or processing a loss. It can be about protecting your mental health or pursuing a new curiosity. All those reasons are valid. The Empathy platform holds that space, so you can come back when you feel truly ready.

In our recent webinar, The Legacy You’re Already Building, grief expert and Chief Empathy Officer David Kessler wisely reframed the definition of legacy.

Legacies aren’t just created in wills or trusts. They’re actively built while you’re alive through the everyday actions you take. Instead of just waiting for those major “legacy moments,” like getting that promotion or having the child you always wanted, you can take small actions every day that contribute to your legacy, like:

👉 Showing up for a loved one in need
👉 Speaking up about a cause you care about
👉 Sharing advice or memories with the next generation
👉 Giving back in a way that feels meaningful to you
👉 Knowing your values and living in alignment with them

Empathy LifeVault™ is one way to capture your legacy in one safe place and ensure it lives on. Not only can you organize assets and important documents, but you can also write what matters with Legacy Letters. This feature guides you through capturing your values, your stories, and your voice for the people you love.

We’re still reflecting on , our living art installation that took place in NYC’s Grand Central Terminal last week.

In one of the busiest travel terminals in the world, people stopped to think about who impacts them most in life, leaving heartfelt messages and memories on notes. Each contribution, whether it was a poem, a lesson, or an affirmation for a stranger, helped the field grow into something collective, moving, and powerful. 📝

Legacies live on. Own yours. Honor theirs.

Are you trying to decide if you need a will or a trust? Here’s a side-by-side comparison chart to help make that decision.

💡 A will is a legal document outlining how you want your assets distributed after you die. It only takes effect at death and it goes through probate, a court-supervised process that can take months and becomes part of the public record.

💡A trust takes effect as soon as it’s created. Assets held in a trust pass directly to beneficiaries without going through probate, which means faster access, greater privacy, and often, less stress for the people you leave behind.

So, which one do you need? The answer can be both. August is . So whether you decide to go with a will, a trust, or both, having a plan in place can bring you peace of mind sooner rather than later.

Every family has one. A saying your grandmother repeated so often it became a part of you. A rule your grandfather lived by, and you carry forward. 💛

This week we asked our team at Empathy this question: “What’s something an elder in your life taught you?”

The answers surprised us. Some were funny. Some were heartwarming. All of them stuck.

What’s a lesson, saying, or piece of advice you learned from an elder that you still carry with you today? We’d love to hear it in the comments. 💬

In Grand Central Station we invited those on the go to take a moment to pause, reflect and participate in recognizing the legacies of those they love, as well as the ones they want to leave behind.

Through our living art installation , we’ve experienced stillness and smiles, hugs and tears, reflection and connection. Legacies live on. Own yours. Honor theirs.

If you happen to be in the city today, make sure to stop by and add your message. 💙
