Hello Reader,

Sometimes, just surviving the holidays feels like a victory—and that’s the first goal. But my deepest wish for you is that, even in the midst of grief, you find moments to feel the love that remains, and tend to your aching heart with compassion.

As many of you know, my grief journey started when I was just seven years old, right before the holidays. That experience shapes the work I do today. Holiday grief has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I know how hard this season can be.

With that in mind, I’ve continued to add to my Holiday Grief Blog, designed to help you honor your loved one, care for yourself, and find ways to stay connected even when it feels impossible. Here are a few of the new and updated resources:

1. ​Heartfelt Ways to Honor Your Loved One at Christmas: Discover meaningful traditions to keep your loved one’s memory alive, from creating memory-filled ornaments to practicing acts of kindness in their honor​.
2. ​Holiday Grief Journal Prompts: Tend to Your Love & Your Loss Journaling can be a powerful tool for processing grief. Explore prompts designed to help you express emotions, reflect on memories, and find moments of peace during this emotionally charged season​.
3. ​10 Tips to Support Grieving Children During the Holidays: Learn how to create a compassionate holiday experience for children experiencing grief, balancing cherished traditions with gentle understanding.

My hope is that these words help you move through the season with mindfulness, compassion, and the knowledge that you’re never alone on this journey.

With lovingkindness,

P.S. If you prefer videos, check out my YouTube channel. I am adding resources there too, including a video on Coping with Holiday Grief, and a guided relaxation meditation.
