Episode 23: Rewriting Traditions - Creating New Holidays and Meaningful Moments
"You don't need permission to rewrite the script - new traditions can honour both your past and your present.” - Rebecca Ann
The Weight of "The Way Things Used to Be"
Holidays, anniversaries, and birthdays can feel like emotional landmines after loss. We try to recreate old traditions.....but they don't feel the same. And trying to force it often leads to more pain.
Episode 23: Rewriting Traditions - Creating New Holidays and Meaningful Moments
When I let Go of the Old Script
The first Christmas without Les, I cried more than I celebrated. The year after, I changed everything. I swapped dinner for a beach walk and let joy sneak in on my terms.
How to Create New Traditions
Keep the meaning, change the method
Do something your person would've loved - just in a new way
Try something completely new that feels good for this version of you
You're the Meaning-Maker Now
Traditions are powerful - but only if they bring comfort. If they bring dread or grief spirals, it's okay to shift. It's not about forgetting. It's about living.
