Holidays Without Your Loved One

How to face that feeling of nostalgia during the holidays when you have lost someone

When someone we love dies we have a hard time and although time can give us a new perspective, these festive dates rekindle our hearts and pain is inevitable.
First of all I want to tell you that I hope you are doing well. I have lost people very close to me and I know what it feels like to live these dates without them, that is why I decided to write this article and give you some tips to cope with this situation.

1. It’s okay to miss them.
Obviously if you miss that person it is because that person was someone important in your life and means a lot to you. That is why you should not repress your emotions. Allow yourself to feel. If you want to cry, then cry.
It is important that you do not repress your feelings because otherwise they will accumulate until they become a ball of crying or guilt.

2. What would they have wanted?
Ask yourself what that person would have wanted, Would they want to see you crying? Or would they want to see you happy and enjoying these days?
I know it is difficult, but try to enjoy these dates in their memory and celebrate all that they gave you when they were with you.

3. They are with you.
Remember all the moments you lived with them, they are still there! And as long as you keep them alive in your heart they will never die.
Think of all the learnings that they left you, now they are part of you and will be forever.

I really hope these three little reminders can help you cope with the nostalgia we feel during these special dates. I also want to give you some practices that I know will help you:
-Remember that you are not alone.
-Write what you feel.
-Find your loved one in the joy of small moments.
-It’s okay to feel and remember: the magic is that those memories embrace you and make you feel loved; let yourself be loved!

Thanks for reading, I really hope this article can help you and that you really enjoy these days with the feeling of joy.
