"I told the children they are welcome to come for Christmas, but I'm not going to do anything. I cannot imagine making festive food, or celebrate anything...I don't know how I can celebrate Christmas without him."
"I wish I could go to bed and wake up after New Year's...I don't feel like celebrating anything. I just feel the emptiness and sadness."
These are quotes of people who have lost loved ones during this year. The thought of celebrating Christmas, is hard and feels impossible.
This time of year, as everyone prepares for Christmas and heads off on holiday, can be particularly emotional for those who have recently lost a loved one. The empty chair at the table, the memories of past holidays, and the weight of longing serve as constant reminders that life will never be the same. Watching others carry on with their normal activities can make you feel like a stranger in a world that now feels unfamiliar.
So, how do we survive these festive days? Here are a few tips and practical suggestions for navigating this challenging time when families come together and spirits are high. Remember, it's okay to grieve and to prioritize your well-being.
💖 Set Boundaries:
Only engage in activities that feel manageable for you. It’s perfectly fine to say no.
🧘♀️ Care for Yourself:
Take time to rest, reflect, and do things that bring you comfort, whether it’s a quiet walk or a favorite book.
🤝 Seek Support:
Lean on friends, family, or support groups. Sharing your feelings can lighten the load.
Remember, it’s okay to feel what you feel. You’re not alone. 💙
