Remembering loved ones
Grief doesn't go away for Christmas. So, Christmas can be a challenging time for people dealing with grief. If you or someone you know has lost someone, you might be looking for helpful things you can do to ease their suffering. Grief can be incredibly isolating, so it can be beneficial to know that other people understand your pain.
It's also common to encounter new emotions that might not make a lot of sense, and knowing that other people have experienced these emotions can go a long way in helping individuals cope with grief. To help people feel less alone at Christmas, sharing quotes about grief and loss can be helpful. This will help to remind them that other people have been through what they are going through.

These candles I light for my girl Lauren Marie and my lovely mum xx ~ Tracy
“You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”                 ― Anne Lamott
“The pleasure of remembering had been taken from me, because there was no longer anyone to remember with. It felt like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself, as if the things we'd done were less real and important than they had been hours before.”                                                                                        ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars


“It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.”                                 ― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent


If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?” ― Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper
