🕯️ A simple holiday tradition you might consider 🕯️

Light a candle at Christmas dinner in memory of someone you love.
Say their name out loud.
Share one favorite memory.

Grief doesn’t take away love—Christmas can be a time to let that love shine.

For many, the holidays are joyful and bright.
For others, they carry a quiet ache—an empty chair, a familiar laugh missing from the room.

🎄 A Thought for the Season 🎄

There’s no “right way” to grieve during Christmas.
Some people decorate early.
Some skip traditions altogether.
Some do a little of both.

All of it is okay.
Give yourself permission to grieve and to recognize moments of peace when they come.
