💜 The Weight of Winter Grief

The months after the holidays can make grief feel heavier: the quiet moments, the cold days, the absence of familiar gatherings.

🕯️ Finding Light in Winter

Winter often invites stillness: a quiet space where grief and memory can feel especially tender. Yet even in the coldest season, small moments of light find their way in. A warm cup of tea, a gentle memory, a soft sunrise.

May you feel those moments of light this month.
