The Empty Seat

As the Christmas season envelops us in joy and merriment, it also provides a meaningful opportunity to remember and honor those who are no longer with us. Amidst the gathering of loved ones at the dinner table, there may be an empty seat that serves as a gentle reminder of the ones we have lost. In times of struggle, it is important to first acknowledge our pain and grief, and then embrace the healing power of including the memories of the past in our present celebrations.
