Time to dust off the holiday decorations, put on your best smile, and pretend like everything is okay. The reality is, for many of us, the holidays are anything but cheerful. This season can be especially difficult if you're grieving the loss of a loved one and having to carry on the traditions that carry reminders that feel like a punch to the gut. This time of year is challenging for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. The holiday season can feel like an endless parade of obligations, gatherings, and reminders of what once was. For many people, coping with grief and loss during the holidays is made even more difficult by the overwhelming sense of sadness and isolation. In this episode, I chat with Debi Frankle, a self proclaimed grief nerd who has known a lot of dead people over her lifetime. It is possible to get through this difficult time, and Debi shares tips to help you navigate the holidays without losing your mind (or your temper in the baking aisle). Top reasons to listen to the entire episode: Learn concrete practices to help get you through the holidays when you are struggling with grief (regardless of how much time has passed). Understand what makes the holidays so difficult after a loss and ways to consider preparing. Hear ways you can support someone else as they are grieving. Gain perspective on why grievers may have a hard time allowing themselves to experience positive emotions after experiencing a loss.
