Today we're exploring how to navigate holiday grief triggers and the anxiety that often comes with this season. The holidays can feel especially tender and overwhelming after a loss, and this episode offers grounded, approachable guidance for managing those emotional landmines.
I'm sharing high-level strategies for recognizing and responding to grief triggers during the holidays, including:
✨ Acknowledging your feelings instead of pushing through
✨ Setting intentional boundaries
✨ Creating a “Plan B” for events or gatherings
✨ Giving yourself permission to step away
✨ Practicing more compassion toward your own capacity
You’ll also hear simple, practical ways to cope with holiday anxiety, like using grounding techniques, taking social media breaks, and giving yourself space from overstimulating environments.
This minisode encourages you to create a personalized holiday survival plan, lean on your support system, and gently allow moments of joy without guilt.
If you’re moving through grief during the holidays, this episode offers comfort, validation, and practical tools to help you navigate it with more clarity and care. Grief doesn’t pause for the holiday season, but you don’t have to move through it alone.
