Today's episode is sponsored by Dr. Kimber’s upcoming book, Still: Making a Whole When Parts Go Missing, which will be released in late January. It’s part three of a three part mini-series to help us prepare and approach the holiday season in a way that works for each of us, so we can end the year and move into the new year minimizing stress and regret, and feeling more connected and refreshed.

In this episode, we're talking about grief and the holidays, and how to hold the balance of what is and what isn’t, especially during a season that may include gatherings with family and friends, and memories.

Key moments include:

4:55 – One useful way to navigate grief over the holidays: name it

6:54 – Thoughts for when you’re grieving about how family dynamics have been shifted 

8:12 – How practicing gratitude by noticing the good can be helpful

9:10 – The importance of carving out time to experience grief  

10:25 – How grief requires us to reach out to people to be seen
