Creating New Traditions

Send us Fan MailThe “holiday season”  is filled with traditions at every turn. While they anchor us and provide familiarity and predictability, they can also be the source of stress and trigger deep sadness and grief. However, because they create a sense of belonging, gradually introducing new activities can maintain the togetherness and provide needed support for healing. Joy and sadness coexist during the holidays while grieving a loss. The answer to this paradox could be in creating new traditions. It requires great creativity and innovation. Our Founder, Dr. Mary Ellen Collins, gives us an example of both while sharing a personal dilemma for the Thanksgiving holiday. ResourcesPodcast Episode highlights a blog by Mary Ellen Collins:   https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/2022/11/23/create-a-family-thanksgiving-starting-a-new-tradition-in-the-face-of-loss/Want to learn more about our New Connections and conversation Circles?  https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/services/https-www-motherlessdaughtersministry-com-services-online-connections-conversations/. Ways to support MDM financially: https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/giving/Motherless Daughters Ministry is a 501(c) (3) non-profit that depends on the generous support of donations from listeners like you.  To donate or sign up for our newsletter and more resources, visit our website atwww.motherlessdaughtesministry.com  Support the showThanks for listening!
