 Overcoming Adversity During the Holidays
Getting Back to the True Meaning
The holidays can be a stressful time for anyone. They are even more so for those experiencing loss, whether it be the loss of health, of a loved one, a job, or a home. The holidays can feel like a burden when we are in the midst of adversity. They can feel like a time to get through rather than enjoy. However, adversity can also help to remind us of what is important. Adversity by its very nature invites us to slow down and move inward. On this call, we will explore how adversity can help us to remember the true meaning of the holidays.

Most of us experienced early on that it wasn’t safe to feel, so we slowly began to close off parts of ourselves. As unwanted feelings arose, we learned to turn to food, alcohol, sex, or other diversions to mask our feelings. As a result, we became angry, depressed, numb, and no longer able to open to living life fully.
I’ve learned from personal experience that feelings of loss don’t go away they just go deeper. Sometimes unattended feelings manifest as disease. It’s clear this old model of stuffing our loss and grief doesn’t work.
Remember, pain is a part of life. Suffering is optional.
This is my gift to you.
