To Those Going Through Hard Times This Holiday Season
The holidays are often painted as a time of joy and togetherness, but for so many, this season can feel heavy. Whether you’re carrying the weight of loss, navigating difficult circumstances, or simply trying to hold it together—know that your feelings are valid.
If you’re missing loved ones, struggling to find your footing, or feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to honor where you are right now. You’ve made it through so much already, and though it might not feel like it, you are stronger than you realize.
It’s okay to grieve, to rest, to not have all the answers. It’s okay if your holiday season doesn’t look like the picture-perfect moments you see around you. You’re doing the best you can, and that is more than enough.
Remember to check in with yourself:
• Rest when you’re tired.
• Cry if you need to release.
• Reach out if the weight feels too much to carry alone.
If nothing else, know this: You are not alone. You are loved. You are worthy of care and kindness, especially from yourself.
Sending light, love, and the warmest thoughts to all of you who are navigating tough times. Take it one day, one moment at a time.
With love,
Jameelah
