Hey! I totally understand how you're feeling. Last year, I couldn't be with my family either, and it was indeed challenging. What helped me cope was staying connected virtually. We set up a video call during our holiday mealtime, so even though we were miles apart, we could still enjoy our favorite dishes together and share stories. It brought a sense of togetherness despite the distance. Additionally, I tried to embrace the spirit of giving by volunteering at a local shelter during the holidays. Helping others in need gave me a sense of fulfillment and purpose during that time. Remember, while physical presence is missed, the love and warmth we share with our families can transcend distance through meaningful gestures and virtual connections.
