When you’ve lost someone special, Christmas can be a time of deep reflection and sadness. Here are a few small ways that may help:
🕯️ Create a moment of remembrance – light a candle, look through photos or set aside a quiet moment to honour their memory.
🕯️ Be gentle with yourself – allow yourself space to experience emotions as they come, and don’t feel pressured to meet expectations or keep up traditions if they feel too heavy.
🕯️ Reach out – talking to a friend, family member or support group can bring comfort. Sharing memories or simply having someone to listen can ease the sense of isolation.
🕯️ Take time for you – whether it’s a walk, a cup of tea, journalling or simply resting, give yourself permission to prioritise your wellbeing during a demanding season.
