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.
