Loneliness at Christmas:👇❤️‍🩹

✔️Patients teach me 1000x how difficult this time of year can be
✔️They say (and I agree) it’s helpful to TALK about why we are sad & lonely
✔️“I see you, loneliness demons” & they can shrink

Last year was the first year of splitting Xmas for my son and his girlfriend, now fiancé. I spoke up as I felt it was important for them to know the pain I felt at Xmas and how not seeing them would be really hard. We worked it out for this year and I’m so much more at peace.
