...See more Grief and Loss Support Check-in New Years Hello, lovely grief and loss support community! Welcome to our weekly check-in. How are we all doing? I hope that the week is being gentle to you and you find time to take care of yourselves. Happy New year friends. We officially have made it through the year and that is a huge accomplishment. I know for me this year has been quite challenging as for many of you. So please be proud of yourself for making it here no matter how you got here, no matter how messy that journey has been. Lately I have been hearing and seeing all about the new year's resolutions so I just want to share a gentle reminder to be gentle with yourself - there's no rule that says you must make dramatic changes just because it's January. Break any goals into very small, manageable steps rather than trying to transform everything at once. And lastly, It's completely normal and valid to struggle during this period. While there's often this pressure to feel renewed and motivated in January, many people experience all the other emotions instead. Whatever you are feeling, it's welcomed and valid here. I wish you all an amazing week and year ahead. I am always here for you and you are not alone.<3 •───────•°•❀•°•───────• I would love to welcome you to participate in some reflection questions!
