🧡 Happy Thanksgiving 🧡
Today we honor the people, moments, and quiet pockets of grace that have carried us through this year.

Thanksgiving isn’t just about a perfect table or a perfect day. It’s about noticing the small things that ground us, comfort us, and remind us we’re not alone.

May today bring you:
• A moment of peace
• A connection that feels genuine
• A breath you didn’t know you needed
• Gratitude for how far you’ve come

Whether your day is full, quiet, joyful, complicated, or somewhere in between — your feelings are valid, and you are worthy of care.

From all of us at Star City Therapy Services, we’re grateful for you. 🧡🍂

✨ Day 2: Grief and the Holidays ✨
The holidays can bring a lot of mixed emotions. You might feel moments of joy right beside moments of sadness, and that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

Grief can look like:
• Smiling during the day and crying at night
• Feeling disconnected from traditions that once felt comforting
• Wanting to participate but feeling emotionally drained
• Needing more rest, more space, or more quiet than usual

You’re allowed to hold both joy and sorrow at the same time.
You’re allowed to feel however you feel, without apology.
You’re allowed to protect your energy and move at your own pace.

Be gentle with yourself this season. Your heart is doing the best it can. 💛

🎄 Grief Doesn’t Take a Holiday 🎄
The holiday season can be beautiful but also incredibly heavy for those carrying grief.

Memories we didn’t ask for
Traditions that feel different now
Empty chairs at the table
Pressure to “be merry” when our hearts are hurting

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
You’re allowed to set boundaries.
You can create new traditions or skip them completely.
Your grief is not an inconvenience.
Love and loss can coexist.

Sending extra compassion to anyone carrying grief into the holidays. 💛

🍁 A Moment of Thanks 🍁
I’m thankful for the things that didn’t go as planned this year — the detours, the pauses, the unexpected lessons.
Sometimes gratitude isn’t about what went right, but about what taught us something important.

Here’s to:
• The boundaries we finally set
• The peace we protected
• The people who showed up
• The versions of ourselves we’re becoming

Gratitude isn’t perfection — it’s perspective.
What’s something this year taught you that you’re grateful for? 💛

✨ Gratitude Check-In ✨
In the middle of all the chaos, today we’re choosing to pause and notice what’s good.
Not perfect.
Not big or flashy.
Just meaningful. 💛

What are you grateful for today?
🧡 A quiet morning?
💙 Someone who made you feel seen?
💚 The courage to keep going?

Drop one thing you’re grateful for in the comments — big or small.
Let’s build a little corner of hope together today. 🌿

To every Veteran:
Your service is deeply appreciated, and your wellbeing matters.

If you are a Veteran in need of support, you deserve care, healing, and a safe place to tell your story.

Thank you for your bravery, both then and now.

🌿 The Stages of Grief

Grief doesn’t follow a straight line — it moves, shifts, and circles back. The stages of grief help us understand the emotional terrain, but everyone’s path looks different.

💭 Denial – “This can’t be real.” Our mind protects us from the shock of loss.
💭 Anger – “Why did this happen?” Anger often covers pain that feels too big to face.
💭 Bargaining – “If only I had…” We search for control in something uncontrollable.
💭 Depression – The weight of reality sets in. Sadness, emptiness, and withdrawal are all normal responses.
💭 Acceptance – We begin to make peace with our loss — not forgetting, but learning to live with it.

✨ Healing isn’t about “getting over” loss. It’s about finding a new way to hold love and memory at the same time.

💙 If you’re navigating grief, you’re not alone. Support can help you find steadier ground.
