A gentle Christmas reflection for anyone finding the season heavy

Claire from Torbay - Long Bay

I’ve shared a short Christmas reflection through Whakaaio Thoughts for anyone finding this season a little heavier than expected.

It’s about grief, quiet, and taking Christmas at your own pace.

Sharing in case it helps someone today.
