While the season is often celebrated with joy, it can also bring stress, anxiety, and sadness. Many face relationship challenges, unemployment, financial struggles, and poor health. It's a tough time for many—so check in, lend a hand, and show you care and are there.

On the 14th of Dec 1861, Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria, died.
This mourning dress was worn by Victoria after the death of another Albert, her grandson, who died from a flu pandemic in 1892.
She was just 4ft 8 inches when she wore this, having shrunk in later years.

Do not resist pain. Allow it to be there. Surrender to the grief, despair, fear, loneliness, or whatever form the suffering takes. Witness it without labelling it. Embrace it. Then see how the miracle of surrender transmutes deep suffering into deep peace.
