Honoring Love, Loss, and Grief: A Family’s Story of Connection Beyond Life

Melanie Vallee / November 12, 2025

At Eastside Counseling Center, we often speak about the healing power of connection ~ how love weaves through every stage of life, even through unimaginable loss. Today, we share something deeply personal and profoundly human: a video written and created by our founder and her daughter, Aspen, in honor of their beloved son and brother, who passed from an accidental overdose on November 12, 2019.

This video is a tribute ~ not only to one life but to the love that continues beyond loss. It’s an offering to all who have loved someone deeply and have had to learn how to love them differently after they’ve transitioned.
