My adult children and I have been gathering for holidays out of obligation more than joy and last Christmas was tense in ways we all felt but didn't name and I think we need to reimagine what family time actually means to us now.

The gap between what family gatherings are supposed to feel like and what they actually feel like can become a source of quiet grief.
