If this holiday season feels different… that’s okay.
Traditions may shift. Emotions may rise.
What once felt joyful may now feel heavy.

There is no “right way” to grieve during the holidays.
Give yourself permission to move at your own pace, honor what matters most, and take things one day at a time.

We’re here for you. ❤️
