While the holiday season is often seen as a time of joy and togetherness, it can be especially challenging for those who have experienced loss. For some, the memories of loved ones and past traditions may bring feelings of sorrow, isolation, or overwhelm.

• Acknowledging and embracing your emotions without judgment.

• Setting realistic expectations and scaling back where needed.

• Honoring loved ones through meaningful new traditions.

• Leaning on your support system or seeking professional guidance.

• Prioritizing self-care, from rest to gentle rituals that soothe the heart.
