Summary
As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is in full swing, your hosts wanted to take the time to speak about grief and loss during the “happiest time of the year”. Whether that is a death, a divorce, or even a falling out with a friend, it’s important you take space for yourself. This is the first holiday in 12 years where D has had a significant other, and she reflects on what those hardest years look like, and what came up for her during that time. Last year was the first holiday Jac was alone since her divorce, and offers tips for navigating time with family members who want to ask all the questions…The two discuss things that help to manage grief during the holiday season, and are sure to offer tips for healthcare workers during this time as well. Danielle opens up about what having a partner means for her, and how, while grief never fully goes away, it gets easier to manage as your life grows around it.
If you are in emotional distress this holiday season, please reach out to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988
