Getting Through the Holidays When Things Feel Hard

Grief, loss, and finding joy in the little things.

The holidays often stir up complex emotions for me. It’s been almost 2 decades since I’ve spoken to my dad, and over 3 years since I’ve spoken to my mom. But this year, the countdown to Christmas marks the approach of one of the hardest losses I will ever face. So, this month is all about caring for myself in the best way I know how. If you’re navigating grief, loss, or struggling in any way this Christmas, this one is for you.
