I know you might be dreading Christmas

Hey there,

As Christmas nears, we're reminded of the joy and warmth the season can bring, but also of the challenges and mixed feelings it may evoke. Whether this time of year is one of celebration, reflection, or something in between for you, let's focus on nurturing our connections and offering support to one another.

🫶🏼 Something to share with a loved one:

Create a Comfort Kit: Together - or by yourself! - assemble a ‘comfort kit’ that includes items like a favorite film, a comforting recipe, a soothing playlist, or a book that offers escape or reflection. Whether you use it during the holidays or save it for a needed pick-me-up, it’s a way to feel care when times are difficult.

💌 Something to ask a loved one:

With the holidays upon us, what can I do to make this time easier or more comfortable for you?

This question shows sensitivity to the emotional complexities of the season. It provides a space for your loved one to express their needs, whether they're looking for joy, quiet, or simply a listening ear.

Caring through the season,
Joanna xo
