🖤 Saw this post on @breakingtaboo and for personal reasons I had to share. Christmas isn’t always a joyous time of year, especially for those who have lost loved ones. This may be your first year without them and you are understandably not in the Christmas spirit. And that’s okay. Take things at your own pace, surround yourself with friends and family where possible. • • And for those on their own reach out in your local area, there may be some events on at a local community centre where you can mingle and take the loneliness away. Or perhaps book yourself in at your local pub for Christmas dinner so you’re surrounded by people on the big day. • If you have an elderly neighbour - check in on them. Or better still, invite them round. No one should be alone at Christmas x Please remember that the holidays aren't always for everyone and there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a quiet Christmas for whatever reason you have! . . . #mychristmastree #ukchristmas #christmasdrinks #kidschristmas #quietchristmas #grievingatchristmas #lonelychristmas #dontbealonethischristmas #itsokaynottobeokay #surroundyourselfwithgoodpeople #grieving #nooneshouldbealoneonchristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/BrailDhltm4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sh3dnm647xks
