Grief Tip #10 - Christmas Eve

The peace and magic of Christmas are forever changed by the death of someone dear to you. Much like the wise men in the Nativity story, we now find ourselves on a journey. Our journey is through grief and learning how to traverse the path ahead without our person.

On this Christmas Eve, I invite you to pause, embrace the warmth of shared moments, and honor your journey. Whether you choose to read a meaningful poem, play a cherished song, or write letters of remembrance together, take a moment to reflect on the life that once was and the life that will forever hold a special place in your hearts.

The recognition of the profound love and deep loss you've encountered this year is a testament to your incredible courage and strength. As the holiday season draws to a close and the new year emerges, remember this: You have already weathered 100% of your worst days. May the coming days be marked by a gentle continuation of your journey, one day at a time, with increasing peace and a growing wellspring of hope!

May the hope of heaven rule in your hearts and home this Christmas!
