Years ago, inspired by the Day of the Dead, I dedicated today to honoring my ancestors and quietly reflecting as a rested - since the 31st often involves parties, handing out candy, and a Samhain ritual, I'm usually pretty worn out.

Now that I've said goodbye to loved ones, it has also become a time for remembering, self-care, and grief work. It felt natural, but it also gets me in the right state to handle the winter holidays without them.
