There’s a kind of exhaustion that holidays bring when you’re grieving...
a quiet ache that makes the thought of being around people feel overwhelming....even when those people love you.

Part of you wants to stay home, wrap yourself in silence, and protect the pieces of your heart that still feel too fragile to expose.

And another part of you feels guilty for needing space…
guilty that you don’t have the energy to pretend you’re okay…
guilty that the world expects you to show up like nothing changed.

It’s a tug-of-war nobody sees:
🖤 wanting to avoid the empty chair and the memories that hit too hard
🖤 wanting to be included, but not knowing if you can handle it
🖤 wanting comfort, but dreading the weight of conversations and eyes watching your grief

If you choose to stay home, it’s okay. If you show up and leave early....it’s okay. If you smile and then cry in the bathroom...it’s okay. If this year looks different, it’s okay.

Protecting your heart is not selfish. It’s survival.

And the people who truly love you will understand.

🕯️ Be gentle with yourself this Thanksgiving. Your grief is real. Your heart matters.

Throughout her life, Deborah was known for her faith, humor, strength, and generosity.

People mean well.
They offer advice.
They tell you how strong you are.
They say things like “they’d want you to be happy,” or “at least they’re not suffering.”
They talk about closure. About moving on. About staying positive.

But here’s the thing—
Until you’ve sat in the front row at a funeral…
Until you’ve looked at a casket and felt like the world cracked open…
Until you’ve had to stand there and say goodbye when you weren’t ready—
You don’t really know.

You don’t know how grief rearranges every part of you.
You don’t know how long the silence lasts after everyone else goes back to normal.
You don’t know what it’s like to carry someone in your heart because you can no longer carry them in your life.

So, if you haven’t been there yet, I’m truly glad.
I hope that day doesn’t come for you for a very, very long time.
But please—
Don’t tell me how I should be grieving.
Don’t tell me what joy should look like right now.
Just sit with me. Walk beside me.
Or let me be.

Because unless you’ve sat in the front row…
You don’t get to hold the mic.

“One Last Time Around the Table”
(A Thanksgiving Poem)

I wish the whole family could be here this year—
every seat filled,
every voice overlapping another,
every laugh rising up to the ceiling
like it used to.

I wish we could squeeze everyone
around the same old table,
the one that’s held decades of stories,
decades of hands reaching for rolls,
decades of grace said over food
made with love and prayers.

I wish the ones who moved away
could walk through the door
just like that.
I wish the ones who are busy
could slow down enough to sit and stay.
And I wish the ones who’ve gone to Heaven
could have one more seat
right beside us—
just for a moment.

Holidays change as the years pass.
Kids grow up and start families of their own.
Chairs get left empty that once held the people
who shaped our entire world.
And sometimes,
no matter how hard we try,
we can’t gather everyone
the way we used to.

But still—
my heart sets the table for all of them.
For the voices I miss.
For the laughter I can still hear if I close my eyes.
For the recipes only they could make just right.
For the warmth that filled the room
before life scattered us like leaves in the wind.

So this Thanksgiving,
I’ll whisper a quiet prayer
as I place each plate:
“Lord, thank You for the seasons we had.
Thank You for the people who made this table feel like home.
And thank You for the hope
that one day,
there will be a feast where no one is missing—
and every loved one is gathered again.”

Until then,
I’ll treasure the moments I get.
I’ll hold tight to the memories that still sit beside me.
And I’ll keep wishing
—just once more—
for the whole family
to be around the table,
one last time.
