When you are hurting during the holidays because of divorce, separation, death, illness, estrangement, job loss, loneliness, or anything else, you need to intentionally make different choices than you would otherwise. Self-care for painful holidays means carefully choosing what you do from the perspective of how it takes care of yourself rather than how it fulfills others' expectations or your typical way of doing things. #selfcare #healthyholidays #navigatingholidays #painfulholidays
