Thursday it’s official. When Thanksgiving arrives, we can say the holiday season has started for real! The aura of the day is one we revel in. The smell of a good pound cake or sweet potato pie baking. Feeling that tryptophan high after the turkey meal. A game of Spades with the family. Christmas lighting ceremonies.
Yes, the season to be jolly is only days away. Although for some, the holidays aren’t so jolly.
Grief over the loss of a loved one may pierce your heart. Whether the loss is fresh or new, your life has changed and there’s a missing piece.
Heartbreak over a relationship that has ended could block your holiday cheer. Or maybe it’s the loss of a job. A health crisis. It could simply be unresolved stress from what we’ve been dealing with over the past year and a half.
Then there’s the issue of family drama. You already dread Thanksgiving over at Big Momma’s because you know somebody will act a fool. You anticipate drama because every year there is some! The same old arguments. One of the uncle’s gets to drinking and talking too much. A family member you fell out with and you aren’t trying to be in their presence. The potential fist fight over a trivial issue - or past unresolved problems. The ex that keeps showing up because they’re still cool with your family but you wish they’d latch on to their own.
The list could go on and look like a Tyler Perry production. But we can be equipped to handle whatever is stressing or weighing us down this holiday season. Let’s hear from Licensed Professional Counselor, Life Coach and Gateway of Hope Executive Director, Dacia Moore.
