Finding Light During the Holidays

In the midst of the holidays, my heart feels so heavy.
Some days, I just want to hibernate through the next month—and today was one of those days.

Putting up my Christmas tree brought a wave of emotions I wasn’t quite prepared for.
Grief has a way of sneaking up on you. Some things trigger deep pain, and today… was one of those days.

And that’s okay.

Losing a child is a heartbreak deeper than words. I’m learning to walk this path the best way I can—without apology. This is my journey, and some nights, like tonight, all I can do is cry. Because sadness only lives where love once did.

But even through the ache, I’m reminded: I still have loved ones around me. I still have blessings. And I still have the hope that comes with the true meaning of Christmas.

So I will choose to celebrate the birth of my Savior—because He’s the one carrying me through this season and every single day.

If you're hurting this season too, know you're not alone.
Look for the Joy in the Grief.
Hold onto your blessings.
And give yourself the grace to feel it all. 🙏❤️
