The holidays can stir tender emotions.
If someone you love is hurting this season, they don’t need solutions — they need presence.

The most meaningful thing you can do is witness their grief.

That might look like:

1. Listening without trying to make it better.

2. Sitting beside them without rushing their healing.

3. Honoring silence when words fall short.

✨ Your quiet presence may be the most healing gift you give this year.

At Family of Hands, we often hear this in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving:

“I should feel thankful...but I just feel sad.”

If this season brings grief, you’re not alone. The holidays can stir both joy and longing. Love and sorrow. Full tables and empty chairs.

There’s no one right way to feel right now.
Whatever your truth is, there’s space for it here.

🖐 If you need support this season, we’re here to walk with you.

Grief can show up as sadness. Or it can appear as anger, anxiety, numbness, exhaustion — even relief.

On National Grief Awareness Day, we recognize that loss is deeply personal. There is no one-size-fits-all response. What matters is that you feel safe to feel it.

At Family of Hands, our grief-informed counselors walk alongside children, teens, adults and elders navigating grief of all kinds. Whether the loss is recent or long ago, your pain is real — and your healing matters.

Reach out to learn more about how we support grief with empathy and presence.

Back-to-school jitters are real — for kids and adults!

New classrooms, changing routines and big emotions can stir up stress for children, tweens, teens and even the grown-ups who support them.

In other words: If your household or school team is feeling the shift, you’re not alone.

From play therapy to Circle of Security-informed support, we’re here to help you feel steady, not just ready.

Message us today to learn how we can support your family or school team.

💬 What’s one small way you or your child are preparing emotionally for the return to school? We'd love to hear.

Announcement!

When emotions run high, it’s easy to feel stuck, flooded, or out of control. But even in hard moments, small shifts can bring relief.

🥶 Splash cold water on your face or hold an ice cube. This signals your nervous system to shift out of panic mode and into calm.

💨 Practice box breathing: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat. This simple rhythm helps your mind and body slow down together.

🛑 Feeling stuck? Do the opposite of your urge (e.g., call a friend instead of isolating).

Of course, coping skills aren’t one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s capacity is different, especially in the middle of being overwhelmed. If none of this feels doable right now, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you deserve different support.

At Family of Hands, we often hear fears and hesitations from couples considering therapy. If you're curious but unsure, you're not alone. Let's clear up some common misconceptions:

❌ “Couples therapy is only for people on the verge of breaking up.”
✅ Not true. Many couples come to strengthen connection, improve communication, or navigate transitions—not just to "fix" crises.

❌ “The therapist will take sides.”
✅ Our role is never to judge or blame. We’re here to support the relationship and help both partners feel heard, safe and respected.

❌ “We should be able to figure this out on our own.”
✅ Relationships are complex—and getting support is a sign of courage, not failure. Therapy can offer tools and clarity that aren't always easy to find in the moment.

❌ “It’s too late for us.”
✅ Healing and reconnection are possible—even after deep hurt. The fact that you're considering therapy is a sign of hope.

Whatever season your relationship is in, you don’t have to walk it alone. We're here to hold space, build bridges and nurture growth.
