The Joyful Mom Podcast
I’m Megan Hillukka, a mother to a large family, a wife, business owner, homeschooling mom, and this podcast shows you how to find joy in motherhood, even when it’s busy, overwhelming, and chaotic, so that you can have peace, energy, and be the mom you thought you would be. We’ll talk about mental health, business, homemaking, marriage, raising kids, and more, all the ups and downs that a mother might experience in her life as she raises her family. This is the Joyful Mom Podcast.

18: Surviving the Holidays
Episode 18 Show Notes
I want to talk about surviving the holidays I remember my first year after Aria died. I looked around and everyone was so excited for the Christmas season. There is such a feeling of joy, excitement and happiness. When you are grieving, it seems like all that excitement is too much to handle. And I longed for my old self who could laugh and not have a care during the holiday season.
-I want to share my first experience with Thanksgiving the first year after Aria died.
-The best way I can think of is to keep communication lines open.
-One year might be awful and you realize that this is what you need, so then next year you change it.
