In this episode of Healthy & Redeemed, we walk together through something many of us feel but rarely talk about openly—grief during the holidays. This season can stir memories, deepen emotions, and make our losses feel fresh again. Today, we explore why the holidays are often harder when we’re grieving and share practical, faith-filled ways we can care for our hearts.

Grief is deeply personal, and each of us walks this journey differently, but we can still move toward peace without forgetting the people we love.  

With encouragement from Scripture, we reflect on how Christ meets us in our sorrow and gently leads us forward. Our hope is that this conversation gives you permission to grieve honestly and still find small steps toward joy and healing this holiday season.
