The holidays can bring joy and connection — but they can also deepen grief and heartache. Whether you're navigating the loss of a loved one yourself or trying to support someone who is, this episode offers honest, compassionate, and practical guidance for getting through the season.

Grief therapist and clinical psychotherapist Kelly Grosklags shares how to handle holiday gatherings after loss, what to say (and not say) to those who are grieving, why "time heals all" misses the mark, and how to create space for both sorrow and meaning during the holidays.
