True Opal

During a season where everything speeds up
where cheer is expected and high spirits feel mandatory
how do you make space for grief?

This holiday season asked me to slow down instead
To listen
To cancel plans
To create
To stay in relationship with love, even when it hurts

I didn’t do grief “well” but I met it honestly

I wrote about what actually helped me through the holidays not to offer advice, but to remember what I’m learning
