There’s a myth that healing means letting go. But for many grieving people, staying connected in small, personal ways brings comfort.
For some, that connection might be cooking a favourite meal or baking a pavlova that reminds them of loved ones. Others might hang a special ornament, light a candle, volunteer in their honour, or start completely new traditions because the old ones feel too hard right now.

There is no right way to remember someone you love. This season, choose whatever feels honest, gentle, and meaningful for you.

Grief is hard enough without the silent pressure of shoulds.
I should host. I should be happier. I should keep traditions going.
But you don’t owe the world a festive version of yourself.
You’re allowed to set boundaries.
You’re allowed to choose what you can manage.
And you’re allowed to protect your heart—especially at this time of year.

If the expectations feel overwhelming, give yourself permission to do only what feels right for you.
