Holidays Feeling Heavy? You're Not Alone

If the holidays feel heavy instead of warm, that’s okay. This time of year can bring a lot to the surface like missing people who are gone, relationships that ended, friendships that changed, or simply noticing how different things feel now. Sometimes it’s not one big loss, just the weight of many small ones.

If you’re spending the holidays alone or away from family, I see you. That kind of distance can feel especially tender right now. It doesn’t mean you’re doing life wrong or that you don’t belong. It just means this season is asking for a little more gentleness.

You don’t have to be cheerful here. You don’t have to pretend you’re okay. If all you’re doing is getting through the day, that’s enough. Feeling sad, quiet, tired, or overwhelmed is allowed.

Take the space you need. Reach out if it feels safe. And if nothing else, know that you’re not alone here. I’m really glad you’re here, exactly as you are. 🤍❤️
