The holidays and a new year can feel like our grief is intensifying. The absence of our loved ones in a new year can be felt on a deeper level. Even if you have been on your grief journey for 1 day or 20 years, allow yourself to be supported and give yourself compassion.

Life is an ever-evolving journey, one marked by a continuous stream of change. These changes can be pleasant, bringing joy and excitement, or they can be painful, presenting us with hardship and sorrow. Regardless of their nature, change is a constant companion, always present and often unexpected.
