Sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing you need a boundary — it’s finding the words for it.
When grief and the holidays collide, your nervous system can feel overstimulated, overwhelmed, or just… done.
You don’t owe anyone emotional access, explanations, or performances to make others comfortable.
Your boundaries are a form of care — for your heart, your healing, and your capacity.
Take what resonates.
Use these words when you need them.
And remember:
Your grief is valid.
Your pace is allowed.
Your peace matters. 🤍
