Yesterday our board of directors had the privilege of hearing from several of our Older Americans Act provider partners about their impact and the challenges they are currently facing.

A common theme among the group was doing more with less: Providers are working hard to meet the increasing need for aging services (meal delivery, transportation, caregiver support, etc.) with funding that isn't keeping pace with the need or inflation.

In response to this environment, providers are establishing new service models and new partnerships to meet the demand. Hearing directly from service providers helps us understand what older adults and organizations are experiencing so Trellis can be a strong advocate for the aging network.

A huge thank you to our all panelists:
Andres de la Torre and Julia McCarthy from Centro Tyrone Guzman
Mary Niedermeyer from CAPI
Jan Hix and Mike Lavin from DARTS Healthy Aging Solutions
Avery Kearney from Optage

Just like March can come in like a lion and go out like a lamb, grief often swings between intense sorrow and moments of joy. Psalm 30 reminds us: “Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” Hospice Chaplain Jenny Schroedel assures that these shifts are normal — and you are never alone. https://bit.ly/4ukVK0f

In Minnesota, we often talk about the weather in March coming in like a lion and out like a lamb (or the opposite). Believe it or not, it often is...

Have you ever felt the need to apologize for not being "positive enough," even when you're grieving? Optage Hospice Chaplain Jenny Schroedel invites you to consider the full truth of your life. No need to label feelings as "good" or "bad." No pressure to find a "bright side." Sometimes the journey through loss is simply dark, and that's okay. She shares Wendell Berry’s powerful idea: What if the darkness of loss is actually rich soil for new life to grow? https://bit.ly/4qZYr5B

Sometimes grief feels like an empty room — still, quiet, and missing the person who once filled it with life.
