How to Approach the Holidays While Navigating Grief & Loss:

1. Focus on Jesus: He is Emmanuel, “God with us,” especially in sorrow. Let Him carry what you cannot.

2. Give Yourself Permission to Grieve: You don’t have to “pretend to be okay.” Even Jesus wept. Grief is not weakness, it’s a process.

3. Pray Honestly: Tell God exactly how you feel. He already knows, and He meets us in our honesty (Psalm 34:18).

4. Anchor Yourself in Scripture: Return to verses that remind you of God’s nearness, comfort, and eternal hope.Examples: Psalm 23, John 14:1–3, Revelation 21:4.

5. Create Space for Rest: Grief is exhausting. Slow down your holiday expectations. Rest is spiritual, not selfish.

6. Practice Gratitude: Gratitude doesn’t erase grief, but it invites hope back into the room.

7. Create a Simple Tradition to Remember Your Loved One: Honor them in a way that acknowledges both your love and your loss.

8. Talk About It: Share stories, laughs, memories. The goal is not to avoid the pain but to walk through it with others.

9. Stay Connected to Christian Community: Don’t isolate. Let the Body of Christ surround you, pray for you, and help carry your burdens (Galatians 6:2).

10. Serve Someone Else Who Is Hurting: Sometimes healing comes as we pour out comfort we’ve received from God (2 Corinthians 1:3–4).

11. Guard Against Unrealistic Expectations: Some days you may feel okay; some days you won’t. Trust in the Lord to sustain you on the mountain tops and in the valleys.

12. Set Boundaries: It’s okay to say “no” to events, or people that feel overwhelming.

13. Focus on the Eternal Hope of Christ: For believers, death is not the end. Holidays may highlight what we’ve lost, but the Gospel highlights what we’re promised.

14. Remember You’re Not Alone: Grief can feel isolating, but God has promised His presence and future restoration.

@TheFive - Happy hour in the 80’s was how poor college students were able to afford dinner - free food and drink specials!

@RoyalCaribbean It’s not tethered?

The House GOP have announced the Save Act, which requires proof of US citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Seems like common sense.

Any identity found outside of God (popularity, social following, wealth, beauty, possessions) is shifting sand. You can lose your self worth when it’s found on earth. It can never be lost when it’s found in Jesus.
