The holidays can be a really sensitive season for people. It’s a time where we feel that palpable slow down–the slowing of work and commitments. Projects and obligations start getting held over for the New Year. 
And in that slow down, we’re left to feel our feelings more than usual. The holidays can trigger a lot of grief, loneliness and expectation. It highlights what we don’t have–what we long for.
