Gratitude Doesn’t Cancel Grief — Both Can Sit at the Same Table

If the holidays bring up more than you expected… my friend, you’re not alone. As Thanksgiving kicks off “the season of all the things,” it’s completely normal to feel grateful and not okay at the same time.

In this episode, Del shares a tender, honest look at how gratitude and grief can coexist without competing — especially during a season that magnifies family dynamics, memories, loneliness, joy, and everything in between. You’ll also hear gentle, practical suggestions for navigating Thanksgiving (with others or on your own), plus a grounding faith reflection to anchor your heart.

Whether you’re excited for this week, dreading it, or simply exhausted by it, you’re welcome here.
