grief and gratitude can share the same table.
it’s okay to laugh, to cry, to miss them, and to remember.
families who heal together often share these quiet traditions:
they say their loved one’s name out loud.
they tell one favorite story before the meal.
they leave space for both silence and laughter.
they let every person feel things differently.
they focus on the love that remains, not just the loss.
the heart can hold both thankfulness and sorrow...and both deserve a place this holiday.
