When family gatherings start to fill the calendar, it can stir up a whole new layer of grief. Maybe someone says the wrong thing—or worse, no one says anything at all. The ache of feeling unseen and misunderstood can make you want to skip it all together.

In this episode, we'll talk about what to do when family doesn't understand your grief, and how to protect your peace without closing your heart. These truths will help you breathe again, set healthy boundaries, and walk into the holidays with grace instead of dread.

Inside this conversation, you'll discover:

• The difference between grace and boundaries—and why you need both.

• A simple way to respond when family comments sting or silence hurts.

• How to release expectations that steal your peace and leave you empty.

• The reminder that you don't need their understanding to heal—God's presence is enough.

If this time of year feels heavy, you don't have to face it alone. Tune in and let's walk through it together. There's hope, there's room to breathe, and there's peace waiting for you—even when others don't understand your grief. 💛
