I know you’re hurting right now. First holidays are tough, but you’ll get through them. And despite your heartache, you’ll find that with each passing holiday, your enjoyment grows as your awareness expands. Meaning deepens, and every detail resonates with profound significance. Maybe it’s a feeling of obligation, like we need to enjoy the holidays for those no longer physically with us. Or maybe it’s that they are still here, watching through our eyes, smiling with our hearts—showing us from their perspective how precious each moment is. Even the toughest ones, because they understand that in the end, they are the most meaningful.
