Carry Them With Me

As you begin or continue a day that may be heavier than others, give yourself a space to lighten your load. A quiet moment, reminiscing on a happy memory, grabbing a coffee or going for a short walk to recenter, or scheduling in a few minutes of self care can go a long way today. Imagine how you can carry your loved one today, even if they aren't physically by your side. Light a candle, tell a story of them, prepare their favorite dish, hang their ornament on the tree, or spend a quiet moment with them.

As you long for them to sit in the seat they've left empty at the table this year, hold them close in your heart. Invite their memory in and honor them as you remember them.

Today, and always, you, your loved one, and your grief are not forgotten ♥
