You don’t have to enjoy Christmas

There can be so much expectation around Christmas.
We’re supposed to be happy.
We’re supposed to be grateful.
We’re supposed to enjoy ourselves.
We’re supposed to spend time with family.
But what if this Christmas you gave yourself permission to ask a different question?
“What do I need?”
Not what should I feel.
Not what would make everyone else happy.
Not what Christmas is supposed to look like.

What do I need?

And perhaps that is enough.

What do you REALLY want to do this Christmas?

It is your day just as much as any one else, and you have the same right to do what works for you, and to experience joy, even when you don’t have the family you dreamed of.

Make Christmas 2025 the last Christmas that you didn’t do what was right for you💖

The quiet gift of being needed

There is something very different about an animal needing you.

Not because you’ve achieved something.

Not because you’ve fulfilled a particular role.

Just because you’re their person.

You feed them.
You talk to them.
You care for them.
They greet you when you come home.
They curl up beside you when you’re sad.

And for someone who has experienced loneliness, grief, illness or a life that hasn’t unfolded as expected, that relationship can carry enormous meaning.

Sometimes we underestimate how important these relationships can be.

An animal doesn’t care whether your life looks the way you thought it would.

They don’t ask what you’ve achieved.

They don’t compare your life with anybody else’s.

They just know that you’re their person.

And perhaps there’s something rather beautiful about that.💖

Your grief is yours.
It doesn’t need to be compared.
It doesn’t need to be justified.
And someone else’s pain doesn’t make yours any less valid.
There is room for all of our stories.
And there is room for all of our grief.

Say “yes” if you agree 👍

Really enjoyed this conversation with Lou J. 🎙️

Lou is such a thoughtful and open podcast host, creating opportunity to explore the many faces of grief, including the many losses that are often disenfranchised or simply not recognised as grief.

Thank you, Lou, for another great conversation and for being so willing to go beyond the obvious when we talk about grief. 💙

What losses have you experienced that you never thought of as grief?

Grief doesn’t clock off when we do.

If grief is affecting our concentration, sleep, decisions, energy or awareness, those effects don’t magically disappear when we leave work.

And childlessness can carry profound grief that workplaces may never recognise.

So what happens when we take that grief to work with us?

That’s what I’ll be exploring during World Childless Week:

Childlessness: A Disenfranchised Grief in the Workplace

I’ll be talking about the impact grief can have on how we function, what workplaces might see and misunderstand, and why we need a broader understanding of workplace grief.

I’ll also share a little of my own experience of carrying grief into a high risk working environment.

📅 18th Septmber
⏰ 9am GMT/8pm NZT
