January can feel heavy. If you’re grieving, here are three gentle ideas that might help:
1) Light a candle each evening and speak a memory out loud.
2) Take a short walk and notice one thing that brings you peace.
3) Create a small memory space at home with a photo and a note.
However you honor your person, you’re not alone.
