Navigating grief during the holidays can feel complicated — especially when the world around you is celebrating.
This season can stir up old memories, deepen the ache of missing someone, or make everything feel just a little heavier. If that’s where you are right now, you’re not alone. Truly.
In our first-ever Flourish Community Event, author Kathryn Henry and our CEO Dr. Xuan Zhao led a small, heartfelt conversation about healing while grieving — inspired by Kathryn’s beautiful memoir A Dime to Say I Love You: A Journey of Love, Loss, and Spiritual Awakening.
One idea Kathryn shared has stayed with us: “dime moments.”
Those tiny, unexpected flashes of connection that show up right when you need them most — gentle reminders that love doesn’t disappear; it just changes shape.
Here are a few grounding truths to hold onto this season:
✨ Embrace your emotions — every single one.
✨ Stick to routines that help you feel safe and steady.
✨ Protect your peace with clear, loving boundaries.
✨ Notice the small moments of connection, beauty, or memory.
As we head into a season that can amplify everything we feel, we hope this conversation offers a bit of comfort — permission to hold joy and sadness side by side, and maybe even notice a dime moment of your own.
