Grief itself is complex and in some ways, never ending. Whether it shows up in our lives expectedly or by surprise, the holidays can magnify its influence because we’re reminded of what we’ve lost, or perhaps, never had. 

Join Jess and her guest, Kelsey Penkal, APSW, as they discuss grief during the holiday season and provide coping strategies for managing feelings of grief, loss, or loneliness.

If you are experiencing difficulty managing feelings of grief, please reach out to a friend or loved one to talk. You can also work with a mental health professional, like the one's at Insight Counseling and Wellness.  For crisis support in Wisconsin, you can call or text the WI Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8.  For those who are deaf and hard of hearing, you can text HAND to 839863 or call 573-303-5604 for videophone.
