Thank you so much for articulating this. My dad passed away over Thanksgiving weekend, and to celebrate anything at all right now feels, as you wrote, like sacrilege — despite needing joyous moments during periods of grieving. Wishing you joy, remembrance, and some serenity these holidays.

Thank you for your continued vulnerability. I lost my son last year and I have found comfort in others' honesty and bravery in sharing how they navigate their grief. Wishing you peace.

Thanks so much for writing this, Alicia. I share with this community the loss of my father-in-law and my Godmother. They both loved life and family, so we celebrate them in our grief. To write is to remember, to read is to share their memories. Happy holidays!
