The Tea: How Do I Grieve During the Holidays?

The holidays can be the hardest time to grieve. For Ryanne, the first season after her mom’s passing was a blur—one she barely remembers through the numbness. This year feels different: it’s the first one she’s fully awake in the absence. In this heartfelt conversation, she sits down with Paige Ewing—certified grief and life coach, mom of two, and newly crowned Mrs. America—who knows loss on a deeply personal level. Paige has experienced the death of eight family members in eight consecutive years, and she brings both her professional wisdom and lived experience to this conversation. Together, they talk about the real symptoms of grief that show up during the holidays, how to balance motherhood with mourning, and Paige’s powerful DANCE framework for moving through grief. This episode offers permission to do the holidays your way—and reminds you that even when traditions change, love still lingers.
