The Pain of the Season

 

Phew! Are you glad to be on the other side of the festive season? How was it for you?




Christmas is a season like no other. It has a way of magnifying our hidden wounds, but we grit our teeth and somehow get through the season whilst hiding from others the pain in our inner world. And then in the cold, dark days of January, when the cultural atmosphere of gaiety subsides, we can suddenly feel very flat.

I am one of the first to emphasise the joyous aspects of Christ’s birth. But for many of us, Christmas can be a difficult time. The worries, griefs and hurts we carry become painfully heightened when messages of laughter and joy, and happy family gatherings fill the air and surround us at every turn. It can be all a bit much, especially when we’re not at our sparkling best. There can seem to be no escape from the unspoken pressure to be happy. And when that’s not our reality we can feel very low.

We all carry those worries, griefs and hurts; pain from our past that we’ve not fully looked at, and whose effects linger within us and affect us in unhelpful ways. We don’t feel our best and life feel’s a struggle.


If any of this resonates with you, then Healing Life’s Wounds is for you. It’s a simple, easy to read guide that can help you towards feeling calmer and lighter in your spirit. Don’t take my word for it, this is what an award-winning author said:

One the most enlightening books around healing 

that I have read.
