The Holidays

A holiday wrap up before we enter the New Year

The holidays don’t have to happy or merry this year. It is ok if they are painful, challenging, bland, or blah.

It’s also ok if they are merry and jolly! However you are feeling today is valid and real.

I recall many holidays where the last thing I wanted to do was celebrate. Holidays where I forced myself to smile at family gatherings. I could tell you exactly how old one of my babies would have been that holiday season

Today, and this week, whenever you feel sad or overwhelmed, place your hand over your heart, or on your belly. Breathe in self-love and self-compassion. I see you this year. And know that, even if you don’t know anyone else who has experienced a pregnancy loss, you are surrounded by love and support from every other person who also feels grief and loss this year.

The holidays are here, and I’m sending you all love.
