You’re learning to live in a world that has changed.
Give yourself grace, love, and patience. Not just today, but every day.

Your grief is real, and so is your strength.
Honoring both allows healing, one gentle step at a time.

Step outside for a walk today and think of a moment that makes you smile.
The movement, the fresh air, and the simple act of breathing deeply
can help carry some of the weight grief brings.

Today, bake or prepare something your loved one enjoyed.

Protect your peace.
If certain holiday events feel too heavy, it’s okay to step back.

You don’t have to attend every gathering or match the season’s pace.
Grief doesn’t follow a calendar, and you’re allowed - fully allowed - to choose what feels safest for your heart.

Protecting your peace is an act of self-compassion.

Set aside a small shelf, photo frame, or cozy corner with something that reminds you of your loved one.

It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just a gentle place to return to with your thoughts, your memories, and your love.

A quiet space can become a comforting pause in a season that often feels overwhelming.

Do something kind today.
Hold a door, send a thoughtful note, donate a canned good.
Even the smallest gesture can brighten someone else’s day.

Acts of kindness honor the love you carry,
and sometimes they help your own heart feel just a little lighter.
