A Season of Presence: A 35-Day Devotional for Grief & Peace This Thanksgiving & Christmas

A 35-day devotional for grief and loneliness through Thanksgiving and Christmas. Daily scripture, honest reflection, and one small step toward peace and connection each day.

When the holidays feel harder than they're supposed to.

If an empty chair at your table makes this season feel unbearable — if you're grieving someone, feeling forgotten, or just not sure how to get through Thanksgiving and Christmas this year — this devotional was written for you.

A Season of Presence is a 35-day guided devotional walking you from the week of Thanksgiving through Christmas Day. It doesn't ask you to perform joy you don't feel. It gives you permission to grieve honestly, while gently guiding you toward small, doable ways to stay connected — to God, and to the people around you.

Inside, you'll find:

• 35 daily readings — one scripture, one honest reflection, and one small step each day
• Permission to grieve without guilt, and to let traditions change
• Scripture on God's nearness to the brokenhearted
• Small, doable action steps — never big, never performative — toward connection and quiet service
• A companion for the whole season, not just one holiday

Perfect for:

• Anyone grieving a loved one this holiday season
• Those who feel lonely, left out, or like they don't "fit" the merry version of the holidays
• Anyone wanting a gentle, honest devotional rather than a forced-cheerful one
• Personal use, gift-giving, or small grief-support groups

You don't have to feel merry to get through this season well. You just have to keep showing up, one small step at a time — and this devotional walks with you the whole way.
