Grief and the Holidays - with Garrick Colwell

from Learning To Say Goodbye · host Alexandra Dionisio

Holidays – Christmas, Thanksgiving, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or birthdays, whatever it is you are celebrating, when you throw grief into the mix, things can change rapidly. How can we possibly celebrate when we are feeling the loss of a loved one? How can we even participate in events linked so closely to the memory of a partner, a parent, a sibling, a child, or a grandparent? How can we honor their memories and incorporate them into new traditions going forward?And what about the support system? How can we support people who have lost a loved one especially during this difficult time?I had a chat with my friend Garrick Colwell, a grief expert, and the co-founder of Kitchen Table Conversations to get some tips on how to navigate the holidays while allowing space for your grief.A big THANK YOU to Reiner Erlings for the music. www.reinererlings.com
