In case no one has told you yet; I'm proud of you

The holidays can be full of joy, but it can also suck the life right out of you.

I lost my mom in 2012, and my grandma in 2022. They ADORED Christmas. And it doesn't feel like Christmas without it.

Every holiday season I grit my teeth and try to make it through because I want to make this season magical for my 3 and 5 year old. But there is a very large part of me that doesn't want to celebrate at all. I would be completely ok with just burying my head under the cover until it passes.

If you feel the same way, I hope that there is some comfort and a lessening of guilt in knowing that you are not alone.

In Case No One Told You This Today…
Sometimes the hardest healing is the kind no one sees. The quiet boundaries. The thoughts you challenge. The emotions you sit with instead of running from. Just because it’s invisible doesn’t mean it isn’t powerful. If tonight feels heavy… it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It may mea
