KC End of Life

11/23/2025

We know that gatherings, especially during the holidays, can bring a mixture of joy, tenderness, and sometimes grief. Whether you’re celebrating with a full house, navigating a quieter table this year, or caregiving for someone you love, small traditions can create meaningful moments of connection.
Here are five simple gratitude practices you can bring into your Thanksgiving:

✨ One Good Thing – Invite each person to share one small good thing from the past day, month, or year.
✨ The Silent Minute – Begin your meal with one quiet minute together. Just breathe.
✨ Gratitude for Someone Not Present – Honor someone you’re grateful for who can’t be at the table.
✨ The Helper Moment – Share a time when someone helped you this year — big or small.
✨ Caregiver Gratitude – Acknowledge the people offering care this season: family caregivers, friends, neighbors, professionals.

At KC End of Life, we see every day how meaningful these small acts of connection can be — especially for caregivers, families, and anyone navigating loss or transition. Gratitude doesn’t erase the hard things, but it can offer a moment of grounding, warmth, and shared humanity.

If you try one of these this week, we’d love to hear which one resonated. 💛

As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re reflecting on the role gratitude can play in bringing both comfort and connection—especially during seasons of caregiving, grief, or change. This short StoryCorps conversation is a beautiful reminder of how small traditions can carry deep meaning.

Gratitude is often talked about as a coping tool—but what happens when you’re too tired or overwhelmed to feel grateful? This Dear Doula response offers a softer, more accessible approach for caregivers.
