**This video was recorded here in Pittsburgh. Can you tell where I'm at?**
Here's the thing ...
You don’t have to rush healing.
You don’t have to make resolutions.
You don’t have to pretend this year feels exciting.
If all you manage is getting out of bed, that’s enough.
If joy shows up unexpectedly, you’re allowed to take it.
If sadness pulls you under for a moment, you’re allowed that too.
Grief doesn’t follow the calendar. It doesn’t reset at midnight or soften because a new year begins. It walks with you, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes sitting so close you can feel its weight in your chest. And that’s okay.
