Thanksgiving is only a week away…
and for many of us, the closer it gets,
the heavier everything begins to feel.
Everyone is talking about plans, food, family, and gratitude...
but nobody sees the quiet heartbreak
behind the people who are just trying to survive the holidays
without the person they miss more than anything.
There will be an empty chair this year.
A space that used to be filled with laughter,
stories, and a voice we would give anything to hear again.
And while the world expects us to be thankful,
they don’t understand how complicated it is
to carry grief and gratitude in the same heart.
We’re trying.
We’re doing our best to hold it together,
to smile when it hurts,
to show up even when our heart feels broken.
But the truth is…
this season is hard.
And missing someone you love
doesn’t get easier just because a holiday is coming.
So if your heart is aching too...
you’re not alone.
We’ll get through this together, one breath, one day at a time.
🕯️💔
