Holiday grief has kicked in.
And while you’re excited for the holidays…
some of us are just trying to survive another year without our loved ones.
This time of year cuts deep.
The lights get brighter, but the ache gets heavier.
The world speeds up, but grief doesn’t take a holiday.
Some people are decorating trees.
Others are staring at an empty spot where someone should still be.
So celebrate if you can, truly.
But don’t forget the ones fighting to hold it together.
The ones smiling through heartbreak.
The ones carrying memories instead of people.
This season is magic for many…
but for others, it’s a reminder of everything they’re missing.
Be gentle out there.
You never know who’s barely making it through December.
