The holidays can be extra hard when you’re grieving, but as Billie Lourd reminded her Instagram followers on Christmas Day, it helps to remember others may be in a similar state of mind. The 27-year-old lost her mom, Carrie Fisher, two days after Christmas in 2016. Carrie’s death was followed by the death of Billie’s grandmother, Debbie Reynolds, just one day later. “Sending my love to everyone who has lost someone they loved and is missing them a little extra today. I see you,” she wrote on Wednesday, Dec. 25, sharing a photo of herself as a baby in her mother’s arms with her grandmother right behind. “It’s okay if everything ain’t all merry and bright. It can be a mix of all of it. And it’s all okay. Feel all the feelings — the good and the not so good,” she continued. “Eat something delish they used to love. Put on one of their favorite songs. Tell a story about them. Cry about them. Call one of their friends you haven’t talked to in a while. Be kind and patient with yourself. Don’t grieve in silence. You’re not alone. ❤️”
