When the Holidays Don’t Feel Like “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
For some people, the holidays feel warm and magical. For others, they can be heavy, complicated, or lonely — even when we’re surrounded by people.
The truth is, this season can bring up a lot:
• grief for people who aren’t here
• family tension or painful memories
• financial stress or pressure to “be happy”
• feeling left out, disconnected, or misunderstood
• longing for relationships that feel broken or distant
You can love the lights and still feel heartache. You can be grateful and still feel overwhelmed. You can have people around you and still feel alone in your experience. Human emotions don’t fit into holiday greeting cards — and they don’t need to.
If this season stirs up more pain than peace, please know you’re not broken. You’re human. You’re carrying history, love, loss, and hope all at once.
If you want to share, how does this time of year feel for you?There’s no right or wrong answer. Just honesty.
We’re here with you.
