From grief to grace

Gentle NLP mindset Shift

The holidays can stir memories of people we miss. Instead of lingering in grief, we invite in grace.

Choose to remember with love not heaviness.

Speak their name with gratitude not ache.

Smiles at the moments you shared and let their memory bring light not pressure.

• I allow myself joy today

• I allow myself to smile

• I allow myself grace to rise in me.

  This honors them and heals you in the process

We wish you and your family a happy, healthy and joy filled holiday season!

Love, the LeCheile team!
