The holidays can be difficult for families who may be celebrating for the first time without loved ones who have journeyed on.

Navigating grief is different for everyone. To help those experiencing loss during the holidays, Justice Littlejohn, Cultural Advisor, Galvgwodiyu Program at Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority shares this beautiful poem.

Galvgwodiyu Cultural Advisor Justice Littlejohn worked with the Dadiwonisi Speakers to set up a visit with residents at Tsali Care this morning. The speakers spent time with residents and gave each of them a special gift.

Seasonal Affective Disorder can be especially challenging in the winter months, when shorter days and colder weather can affect mood, motivation, and overall well-being. For many Native people, the change in seasons can also bring reminders of loss, stress, and generational responsibilities that weigh heavily on the spirit.

If you’ve noticed yourself feeling more withdrawn, tired, anxious, or unlike your usual self this time of year, you are not alone. These experiences are common, and they are treatable. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our communities have always relied on connection, culture, and caring for one another to navigate hard seasons.

Analenisgi is here to walk with you, offer support, and help you reclaim balance during these winter months. If you or a loved one is struggling with symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder, please reach out. Healing starts with a single conversation.
