Holiday Hugs and Encouragement

As we are all preparing to celebrate the holidays with friends and family, be mindful that this is a difficult time for so many. The holidays can be a very lonely and troubling time for people that have lost love ones. It can be a reminder of the void of their presence.

If you have lost someone near and dear to you, you can understand that emptiness that is created by their departure from your life. It is a feeling like none other. Many people suffer from depression and anxiety during the holidays.

Be a friend. Offer a hug, a shoulder to lean on, and ear to listen.

If you have never experienced such a loss, be thankful. Cherish your love ones that are still with you. Give a smile, be charitable. Leave your mark in someone’s life.

We are only here for a short while. Our memories and legacy last through the ones we leave behind. Take the picture. Write the letter. Tell someone you love them. I’ve learned to show love as much as possible to as many people as possible.

May you receive LOVE for the holidays. May these words encourage you to show love this holiday season. May the void that you have from missing your love ones be filled with memories of love and laughter.

Sending hugs and encouragement. Hold on to love 💜
