I post this each year because it’s important for the quiet tears to be acknowledged. ♥️🙏🏼🎄
“Remember, you don't need...
to be merry and joyful this Christmas. If instead, you're feeling blue or alone.
And you don't have to be brimming with festive cheer, if you're struggling to find your own.
The Christmas season can be especially hard when loved ones are no longer around. Memories start to surface, with certain
songs, sights and sounds.
Give yourself permission and space to “feel your feelings', for every emotion has its own purpose and meaning.
If you're feeling stressed, full of sorrow or pain. Invite those feelings in, let them sit with you,
for a while, they are never in vain.
Let your tears fall,
release those sad thoughts.
If you need a hug, or comfort,
perhaps, tell someone you trust.
Give them a call.
Remember, it's okay not to feel ok...
After all...
Christmas is a time for love and peace. And that includes being kind to yourself. So be extra gentle with your heart please.
Acknowledge your worries...
Reach out and talk to someone, you trust. For it may help, your pain soften a little and ease.
And if nobody has told you this today. You are worthy, you are beautiful and you are loved.”
