This is my first holiday season since losing Rondo and his absence has been deeply felt 💔 Grief and loss are hard every day of the year. However, I find holidays, special occasions and/or milestones can make the impact of their loss echo even more. To anyone missing someone extra this holiday season, I’m with you. 🤝 Know that there is room for both the moments of joy that may pop up and the waves of grief that may consume you through the holidays (and beyond) In my desperate attempts to lessen the pain over the last year, I’ve worked with several grief counselors, read countless books, attended support groups and more. One of the things that has popped up repeatedly is to keep talking about them. Keep saying their name. Keep sharing memories. Keep sharing their impact. With this in mind, please feel free to share the name of someone you’re missing this holiday season (animal or human) in the comments so we can collectively honor them. Rondo and Templeton you are on my heart and mind every day. I miss you and love you so very much 🪽💕🐾
