The holiday season is often called "the most wonderful time of the year," but for many, it’s anything but. Instead, it can bring a swirl of heavy emotions and bittersweet memories. In this more sombre, heartfelt episode (very off-brand for us – we know!), we dive into how grief and the holidays often collide, shaping everything from traditions to mental health.
In this quickie episode, we touch on:
How grief manifests during the holidays
Strategies for reimagining traditions and creating space for emotions, whether joyful or sorrowful
Meaningful ways to support grieving loved ones, both during the holidays and as the new year begins
This episode is a gentle reminder that grief and love often coexist. We wish you the holiday season that you need, and we can’t wait to see you in the New Year.
