The holiday season, according to the songs that celebrate it, is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year. It's when all is calm and all is bright and we join with friends and family to fa-la-la-la-la our way to the new year. But what if we just don’t feel that way?   In our final episode of 2022, we talk with author Gary Roe about how to get through these last days of the year while coping with crucibles and being grieved by losses that grow even more intense. He shares the best practices he’s packed into his book SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS WITHOUT YOU, offering tips on being kind to yourself, finding ways to honor loved ones you’ve lost and accepting and believing a fundamental truth: this holiday will be different, but it can still be good.   To learn more about Gary Roe, visit www.garyroe.com.   To explore Beyond the Crucible assets, visit www.crucibleleadership.com.  And don't forget to check out our first e-course, DISCOVER YOUR SECOND-ACT SIGNIFICANCE, at www.secondactsignificance.com
