Good Grief: Life After Loss

Scrolling Through December: Social Media & Grief

Listen Later

This week, we’re talking about why social media hits so much harder during the holiday season.

From the matching pajamas and “best Christmas ever!” captions… to the TikTok gift guides for moms, brothers, and partners you may no longer have… scrolling can feel like walking through a minefield when you’re grieving.

In this episode, Skylar breaks down:

  • Why holiday comparison hurts more than ordinary days
  • How the highlight reel can steal joy from even the strongest people
  • How grief gets amplified by TikTok, Instagram, and the algorithm
  • Practical boundaries that protect your heart without deleting everything
  • How to stop doom-scrolling before it starts

    • If you’re grieving and struggling with social media this December, this episode will help you feel seen, grounded, and less alone.
