Grieving during the holiday season can be especially hard.
At a time when everyone else is having fun and enjoying the festivities with their families, it can really magnify the absence of your person.
In this episode, John and Carolyn share how they navigated the first holiday season after their spouses died, and how it has changed for them since then.
There's also plenty of tips and strategies to help you through this challenging time of the year.
Be sure to listen out for the special sound effects in the last 8-10 minutes of this episode. No, John doesn't have a squeaky chair or a new pet... it is actually his stomach growling!
This episode is a repeat from 2022.
