Today on Life With Grief we’re diving deep into the experience of grieving during the holidays—when the world feels festive, but your heart feels heavy. I’m sharing heartfelt insight into the pressure to be happy while you’re missing someone you love.

We’ll talk about why holiday grief can feel so isolating, how to release the expectation to “stay cheerful,” and what it means to honor your emotions instead of hiding them.

You’ll learn how to:
✨ Set boundaries with family and friends when you’re not feeling up for celebrations
✨ Create personal rituals or traditions that feel healing and meaningful
✨ Find small moments of comfort when grief feels overwhelming
✨ Seek support and give yourself permission to rest, cry, or simply be

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to fake happiness or pretend you’re okay. You can grieve, honor your loved one, and still find peace during the holiday season on your own terms.

Tune in as we continue our five-part series on coping with grief during the holidays, and take a little pressure off your heart this season.
