“Who would ever have thought we would live in a time when America’s president reminds everyone of the message of Christmas by ordering bombings in Nigeria on Christmas Day, then bragging about it on social media.”

Five days before Christmas, the silence can get so loud it feels unbearable.

Stay. Just stay. One more night. One more breath. One more dawn.

Memory Monday

Missing someone during the holidays creates a quiet ache beneath the celebrations. It’s okay if joy feels complicated. Honoring your loved one in small ways can bring comfort and connection during this season.

A Holiday Weekend of Tragedy, Violence, and How We Keep Going A Holiday Weekend of Tragedy, Violence, and How We Keep Going | Karel Cast 25-170 This was supposed to be a holiday weekend — and instead, it became a devastating reminder of how broken and violent the world feels right now. Two people were shot and killed at Brown University, with the suspect still at large. In Australia, 15 people were murdered in a hate-driven mass shooting, the country’s deadliest in 30 years. And in a shocking family tragedy, Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered in their home by their own son. It’s overwhelming. It’s heartbreaking. And it raises the question so many of us are asking right now: Is the world losing its mind — and how do we stay positive when tragedy feels constant? On today’s episode of The Karel Cast, we talk honestly about grief, fear, compassion fatigue, and what it takes to keep going when the news never lets up. Plus, a lighter — but revealing — moment: a major vegan fail this weekend that made me realize how even our diets are being impacted by Donald Trump-era economics and policy fallout. This is a conversation about reality, resilience, and finding humanity when the headlines feel unbearable. The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel. Please watch, like, and subscribe at youtube.com/reallykarel. The Karel Cast is heard on all major platforms from Apple Music to iHeart, Spotify to Spreaker. Live Monday through Thursday at 10:30 AM PST, and also streaming on TikTok and Instagram.

There’s an ache you carry when someone you love decides your absence is easier than your presence.
And the holidays make that silence louder.
If you’re grieving someone who’s still alive — you are not alone.

You don't have to force yourself into a cheerful mood this holiday season. Here is how you can honor your grief. youtube.com/shorts/rguUl... #griefdoesnotstop #holidaygrief #grief #healing #griefsupport #christmasgrief #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #griefjourney #loss

December is loud for some and unbearably quiet for others.
Check on the people who went silent. The ones who pulled back. The ones carrying grief you can’t see.

One message can change a day.
Sometimes a life.

Stay.
And help someone else stay, too.

Image of a little white girl from the late 1980s with a high side-pony braid and ratted bangs. She's making a face that looks confused. She's wearing a necklace of chunky hearts that make a rainbow over her flower print overalls & matching ruffle sleeve turtleneck. Text over the image reads: "When we don't grieve. What happens when there's loss and we don't feel grief? There are some losses that just don't hit the same. Because we're human we want to know - is it normal to not feel sad sometimes? The short answer is: yes. The longer answer is, well, longer." A link at the bottom of the image reads: "chelseajonescreates.substack.com"

This week on the substack we talk about what happens when we don't grieve.

Holidays amplify absence. But they can also become moments when presence shows up unexpectedly—a cardinal at the window, a song on the radio, an early snowfall.

To everyone navigating loss this week: your experience is valid. All of it. The grief AND the moments of connection. 🕊️
