The Christmas season can be full of joy. Seeing the wonder of Christmas through your child’s eyes for the first time. Reuniting with family or friends you don’t get to see throughout the year. Engaging in all your favorite traditions. There is much about Christmas that is true, good, and wonderful. But sometimes, the Christmas season makes you more painfully aware of all that is broken, hard and painful. Strained relationships. An empty seat at the table. The first Christmas without a child, a spouse, a sibling, or a parent. Sometimes it highlights that another year has passed and you still aren’t married, or you still haven’t been able to have a child of your own.
