Christmas and the absence of loved ones
Christmas is usually a time for reunion. A time when the family becomes more important than in the rest of the celebrations of the year.
However, it is precisely because of this exaltation of the family unit that those who are not there are even more noticeable. This makes us feel sad, alone, or angry. And it’s natural.
But we must think that we are not the only ones who feel this way. Everyone has lost someone. From a brother or a son to a grandfather, there is no one in this world who has not lost a loved one.
To help us better manage these feelings, we must try to be more in touch with the people we love, whether they are friends or family. And for that, current technologies are of great help.
A recurring aspect regarding feelings and that I like to emphasize is that we must allow ourselves to feel.
Strong people, those who overcome difficult situations well, are highly valued, but this is never the case. First, because of those people, we know the part they want to teach us. And secondly because, although everyone assumes what happens to them differently, there is nothing that avoids having to go through the transformation that involves a loss.
