The holidays aren't always jolly when you're grieving. In this raw and honest episode, Amanda, Sophy, and Kristen share what the holiday season REALLY looks like after losing a spouse—from the gut-wrenching first Thanksgiving to creating new traditions that honor your person while finding joy again.
In This Episode:
How to survive your first (and second) holiday season after loss
Why it's okay to skip traditions that hurt too much
Creating new holiday memories while honoring your late spouse
Navigating family gatherings when the absence feels unbearably loud
Why your second holiday season might be harder than the first
Whether you're in your first year of grief or your tenth, this episode reminds you that your journey is YOUR journey—and there's no "right" way to do the holidays after loss.
You're not alone. We see you. We get it. And we're here with you.
