TAPS is Your Home for the Holidays
As we move into the holiday season, always remember you have your TAPS Family to lean on.
TAPS is your home for the holidays, your soft landing and safe space, an organization created to help you remember the love, celebrate the life and share the journey together.
TAPS is available to you 24/7 through our National Military Survivor Helpline at 800-959-8277. You can always reach out to us this holiday season if you’re feeling lonely, struggling with your grief, have questions or just need to talk to someone.
TAPS offers help, hope and healing to all who are grieving the death of a military or veteran loved one, regardless of the relationship to the service member or the circumstances or cause of death.
A Cup of Kindness Reflection & Mindfulness New Year's Eve Session (December 31 at 11:30 p.m.): This will be a reflective session with breathing, meditation, and some ways to share things that are important to us as we move from one year into another - and to give us an opportunity to do so, together.
