Holidays are especially hard for those grieving the loss of a loved one. The ways we handle them are as individual as we are, but that doesn’t mean that we have to grieve alone. It seems especially fitting that we notice our longing, our grief, our waiting, as we enter this longest night of 2022.

If you are grieving tonight, please know that you’re not alone. Maybe death or loss or terrible hurt has changed your experience of Christmas. Maybe you’ve lost a loved one, a job, a goal, a cause, a dream. If you are weary from the journey, I hope you know it’s okay to grieve. Let yourself grieve any form of loss you’ve experienced this year.

Please take a minute to ask yourself: What does grief look like for you right now? How can you honor what you need to grieve?

Maybe just taking a silent pause or lighting a candle tonight at home will be one way to honor your grief and the unique form it’s taking.

While everyone grieves in their own way, we all grieve where we love. This is a season of so much loss, I hope you know that you’re not alone in this. Peace be with you, my friend.

Some say you're weak if you go to counseling. I couldn't disagree more! Every time someone shows up for a counseling session, I see courage and strength. I see hope that change is possible. I see confidence that there are ways to learn to cope and move forward. I see resilience and self-advocacy.

Beginning and sticking with counseling is a sign of courage, NOT weakness! Yes, counseling is hard work. But the reward is a greater understanding of self, greater clarity about what one wants in life, and less reliance on negative or unhealthy coping strategies.

Your mental health is worth investing in! If you're looking for a therapist, I'd be honored to work with you. Schedule a no-obligation 15min consultation call at lantacarroll.com today.

I'm excited to be a contributor for this piece by Silk + Sonder!

Do you want to start a journaling practice, but feel unsure about how to begin? When it comes to journaling, a few questions come to mind: Many people often wonder what to write about, how to start a journal entry, and how to bullet journal. Journaling is a powerful tool for personal growth with a l...

Thoughts are just thoughts. Yes, some of them try to stick around when we don’t want them to, but that doesn’t make them any more true.

Try noticing thoughts without judging them or criticizing yourself for having them. Then, invite them to pass on by like a cloud or a bird that’s flying by your window, or imagine letting them go like a hot potato! Thoughts are just thoughts and you CAN let them go.
