In this depply personal and heartfelt episode, Erica, Louis and Jordan, sit down together to talk openely about what it means to grieve through the holidays. Christmas, once filled with laughter, traditions, and memories shared with their sons and brothers who are no longer here, now carries a different weight-one shaped by absence, remembrance, and love that never fades. They reflect on Christmases past, the moments that still bring smiles, and the traditions that now hold both joy and pain. The family shares how the holidays changed after loss, what it felt like to walk into seasons that once centered around togetherness, and the ways they learned to navigate grief as a family-each person grieivng differently, yet leaning on one another. This episode alos offers gentle insight for anyone facing the holidays while grieving: how to honor loves ones who are gone, how to set boundaries, how to give yourself permission to feel both sandess and joy, and how to show up for others who are hurting during this season.
