My brother hates Christmas because, when he did a tour overseas, an incredibly close friend - not to mention a mentor and second father figure - died while off on patrol. There's a lot of pain for him around this time of year too.

I hope you've been able to build your holiday traditions in a way where you can self-care at this time, and I hope you are gentle to yourself at this time.
