Dear Friends,
As the holiday season approaches, I want to reach out to those of you who are navigating the journey of grief. It’s important to remember that during this time, it’s perfectly okay to give yourself permission to do nothing.
Society often paints a picture of constant busyness and celebration during the holidays, but it’s crucial to honor your own feelings and needs. If your heart isn’t in it this year, it’s more than acceptable to take a step back and allow yourself the space to simply be.
Remember, there's no right or wrong way to spend the holidays, especially when you're grieving. You don’t need to feel pressured to keep up with traditional expectations or activities. This season, your only obligation is to take care of yourself in whatever way feels right for you.
If doing nothing means staying in, reflecting, or just taking a break from the usual hustle and bustle, then that’s exactly what you should do. Your well-being and peace of mind are what matter most.
Please know that you're not alone in your feelings or experiences. There are many who understand and support your choice to prioritize your emotional health during this time.
Wishing you moments of peace and comfort this holiday season,
Jan
Grieve with intention. Heal Forward. Live Purposefully.
