John Owen Lowe is sharing a message about hope as his family mourns the death of his 13-year-old cousin, Fiona Lowe.
The actor and writer, 30, who is Rob Lowe's son, posted Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope Is the Thing With Feathers" on his Instagram stories following Fiona Lowe's death.
"Hope is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul, / And sings the tune without the words, / And never stops at all," the poem begins.
The image Lowe shared showed the poem in full on a page titled "Hope," without an added caption. Dickinson's verses portray hope as a bird whose song persists through storms and hardship.
