Holidays are hard for me since I lost my grandmother 3 years ago. Sadness is starting to kick in.

How can I make the holidays Less painful and easier on me

I'm sorry for your loss. I can see why the holidays would be difficult on you. Does spending time with your other loved ones help a bit? Sometimes it's comforting to be around family. But, I also know not everyone has a support system like that. What was your favorite memory of her? Sending hugs.💜

Holidays can definitely be a bit of emotional time. I can totally understand how you feel about it. It can rather hard i agree loss of loved ones and changes to traditions along the way as well.

I'm so sorry you're feeling pain and sad right now. You're not alone. Glad you reached out to talk about it! ❤❤❤

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, my grandma died 4 years ago and the holidays were her favorite time of the year. We personally just continue the traditions and we spend time together with our loved ones. If you'd ever like to talk about it, don't hesitate to message me. Take care <3

First off, I’m so sorry for your loss it is so hard. I lost my grandma this year, she adored Christmas so this year is going to be hard.


I’m so sorry you are feeling sad. Do you have anything that you usually do to relax or distract yourself? Hobbies or activities? These may help to up the mood, or at least distract you whenever you need. Talking to people also helps so much, even if it’s just rambling. If you don’t feel like you can talk to anyone, you could try writing things down so it is outside of your head for a time.


I hope this is helpful for you, sending virtual hugs
