Grief During The Holidays

Holidays.. The time of year when everything is supposed to be magical. Families are supposed to be together and happy with warm and cozy scents filling the air, food is delicious, and calories don’t count. The sounds of holiday music fill the radio, every grocery store and retailer play it non-stop, there are special drinks on the menu at Starbucks and all of the families are doing all of the things that make the holiday season “magical.”

Everyone seems to be on their merry way to all of the festivities with the jolly spirit of the holidays.

Except you.

You are grieving.

You don’t want to hear a Bing Crosby song; you’re nauseated by the fake happiness of Karen (sorry, Karen’s of the world!) down the street with her huge family and weekend gatherings.

Your longing for what was is intense.

You want your person back.

You don’t know how to get through the holiday season without them.

You might want to put on a smile and make everything perfect for everyone else but part of you would like to skip October, November, December and maybe part of January too!  

Deep down, you know you want to honor your loved one and not feel guilty for enjoying the holidays.

You know that this doesn’t have to be the most miserable time of year.

At this very moment, you might not know how to get through this holiday season, but you also don’t want to stay miserable and want to find the love for the holidays you used to have.

So, Are you ready to…

  • Feel supported in grief?

  • Re-Learn out how to enjoy the holidays?

  • Confidently say no to things that don’t serve you?

  • Stop letting grief rob you of your joy?

  • Figure out and plan your holiday season?

  • Navigate holiday expectations like a pro?

  • Explore and create new traditions?

  • Enjoy a genuine laugh and smile again?

  • Set boundaries to protect your mental and physical energy?

  • Confront that family drama that creeps in?

  • To remember, honor and include your loved one during the holidays so you still feel connected to them?

  • Enjoy the holidays without guilt?

  • Connect with other grievers and heal together?

If you’ve answered “YES!” to any of the above,

Then this group for grievers is for you!
