"The holiday season can be especially difficult for loss survivors, underscoring the importance of activities that promote healing. 💙 What has supported your healing and growth in your grief journey?"

"You are worthy of receiving love, from yourself and others. Whether it's repeating affirmations, going on a mental health walk, or making an appointment with a mental health professional, find time in the final weeks of this year to love yourself. ❄️ 💙"

Two things can be true. It's okay if you're feeling both joy and grief this holiday season. Give yourself permission to feel and grace to heal. 💙

We can find support and hope by having honest conversations with one another. 💙

All your feelings are valid, including those that are difficult or unexpected. Allow yourself to feel whatever comes. 💙

How do you nurture your mental health? 🧠✨💙

From sadness and anger to love and even laughter, grief can bring up a wide range of emotions. No matter what you’re feeling, remember, you’re allowed to feel it. It’s important to acknowledge those emotions as they come instead of holding them in.

"Everyone carries loss in some way. We are all grieving something. No matter how big or small, we can make space to acknowledge whatever we are grieving and the emotions that come with it. Find support at afsp.org/loss"
