The holidays can be an especially tough time for anyone navigating grief. While the world around us is filled with celebrations, lights, and smiles, it's okay if you're feeling something entirely different. 💛

Here’s a gentle reminder to prioritize yourself this holiday season.

Don’t feel pressured to attend every gathering. It’s okay to say no.

Create space for your feelings. Whether that’s journaling, a quiet moment alone, or talking with a loved one—your emotions are valid.

Honor your loved one in a way that feels meaningful. Lighting a candle, sharing cherished memories, or continuing a tradition can bring comfort.

Take it one day, or even one moment, at a time. You're not alone in this. 💔➡💖

All of those things that you loved about the holidays may seem different, perhaps unrecognizable without your loved one. While everyone copes with grief through the holidays in different ways, we thought we would offer some suggestions that might inspire you to find your own way to experience joy during the holiday season.
