In this episode of Mourning Sips & Soul Shifts, let's explore how to navigate the holiday season while grieving the loss of a loved one. More specifically, missing their presence at the holiday dinner table or celebrations.

I'm sharing a glimpse into the evolution of my own holiday seasons without my parents over the years, but more importantly, I'm offering you practical, compassionate advice if you're struggling with loneliness, sadness, or emotional overwhelm during the holidays.

You’ll learn:
✨ How to acknowledge your grief and give yourself permission to feel.
✨ Ways to create moments of quiet reflection and honor your loved one’s memory.
✨ Why having an exit plan for social gatherings can protect your emotional energy.
✨ How to balance joy and sadness without guilt or pressure to “be okay.”

This episode is a gentle reminder that you’re not alone, and that it’s okay to hold both grief and gratitude this season.
