Understanding Loneliness in Grief
Grief can feel incredibly isolating, especially during holidays or family occasions when the world around you seems joyful and you feel anything but. You might not have the energy for conversations, but if you can, try reaching out to just one person today – even with a short message. Human connection matters.
And remember: wherever you are in your grief, you are not alone. There are others walking a similar path, even if you cannot see them.
