As the New Year approaches, you might find yourself reflecting on who or what you have lost, and what you carry with you into the next chapter. A simple ritual can help you honor your grief while offering comfort and gentle support.

Try this New Year’s grief ritual:

• Light a candle for what you have lost
• Write a letter to who or what you mourn, acknowledging what still lives in your heart
• Name one value, memory, or lesson you want to hold with you into the new year
• Take slow, grounding breaths, feeling your feet on the earth
• Close with a gentle affirmation, such as: “I am holding my grief with care.”

May this New Year bring you space to remember, to feel, and to find support for your journey.

Sending gentle holiday thoughts to all who are missing a loved one today.

12/19/2025

The holiday season can be difficult for those who are grieving. Traditions, gatherings, and memories of loved ones who are no longer with us can make this time of year especially challenging. Grief can also make everyday stress feel heavier, and emotions may feel more intense than usual.

If you are noticing:
• persistent sadness or anxiety, even after weeks or months
• trouble sleeping or focusing
• pulling away from people or activities you used to enjoy
• feeling stuck, hopeless, or overwhelmed by emotions

…it is okay to ask for help. At Center for Compassion, we provide grief affirming counseling. Our counselors help you navigate the complex emotions of the season, develop coping strategies, and find ways to honor your grief while still experiencing moments of connection. Visit thecenterforcompassion.com//info/how-to-support-a-griever/ for tools.

Grief is not a tidy journey that ends. It is a presence that shifts and changes with us. Anniversaries, holidays, and milestones often bring that presence into sharper focus, sometimes making emotions feel heavier or more tender than before.

One way to understand this is through the idea often called Grief Jars. Our grief does not disappear. Instead, our lives slowly grow around it. During certain seasons, grief can feel more visible again, not because you are going backward, but because these moments stir memory, love, and longing.

If you are feeling more aware of your grief at this time of year, know that it makes sense. You are not alone in it, and what you are feeling is a natural part of the grieving process.

Missing someone you love can feel heavy, confusing, and isolating. But grief is not a sign that something is wrong. It is a natural reflection of the bonds that mattered most, the relationships that shaped your heart and your life.

At Center for Compassion, we provide a safe space to sit with grief, honor your memories, and learn to carry loss with gentleness and care.

12/01/2025

Missing someone during the holidays can change everything about how we experience this time. This season may feel heavy, different, or even overwhelming and that is okay.

- Here’s a gentle reminder that you have permission to:
- Say yes to gatherings or traditions that feel supportive
- Say no to things that feel too difficult or draining
- Ask for help when you need it
- Skip traditions or rituals that feel painful
- Add new traditions or rituals that bring comfort
- Change your mind as your needs shift
- Say their name out loud
- Take care of yourself first

Grief doesn’t have a timeline, and honoring your needs is an act of self-compassion.

If you need support navigating your grief this holiday season, our therapists at The Center for Compassion are here for you. Visit thecenterforcompassion.com to connect with a grief therapist today.

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot.” — Jamie Anderson

Grief is love. It’s the echo of a connection that mattered deeply, the part of your heart that still reaches for someone who is no longer present. Feeling grief is a reminder of how much you cared, how much you gave, and how meaningful that relationship was.

It’s okay to feel the ache, the longing, and the emptiness. These emotions are not signs of weakness; they are evidence of love that endures even after loss.

Creating small rituals, speaking your loved one’s name, or simply sitting quietly with your feelings can help honor that love while caring for your own heart. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

Our therapists at The Center for Compassion are here to support you as you hold space for your grief and find ways to live with love and remembrance. Visit thecenterforcompassion.com to connect with a grief therapist today.

Grief and the Changing Seasons

With fall upon us and winter approaching, the change in weather naturally encourages our bodies and minds to turn inward. Shorter days and colder temperatures often lead us to slow down, reflect, and spend more time alone. Research suggests that colder weather is associated with lower activity levels and a more reflective cognitive style.

For those who are grieving, this inward turn can amplify feelings of sadness, loneliness, or nostalgia. The holidays, memories, and seasonal traditions may heighten awareness of who is missing, making this a particularly challenging time.

It’s important to honor these feelings and give yourself permission to rest, reflect, and process grief at your own pace. Gentle self-care practices—like journaling, creating small rituals, or spending quiet time in nature—can help support emotional well-being.

You do not have to navigate grief alone. Our therapists at The Center for Compassion are here to help you find balance, understanding, and compassion during this season. Visit thecenterforcompassion.com to connect with a grief therapist today.
