Facing Holidays Without Loved Ones

Holidays can stir a mix of joy and melancholy, especially when facing them without loved ones. As shared in the podcast, the first Thanksgiving and Christmas after personal losses were overwhelming. Traditions that once brought comfort felt hollow. Chris recounts the emotional toll and the necessity to find a mental space to recharge.


Planning for holidays in advance, creating actionable plans, and even opting out of festivities if needed, are viable options for those grieving. The essential element is to honor one's own pace and needs without succumbing to societal expectations.

Our new episode is here to provide solace and strategies. #GriefSupport #Holidays
