Episode Synopsis

Grief during the holiday time is hard. Being merry and jolly doesn’t come naturally and heartbreak feels more prominent in our lives than before. Today, my husband and I talk about grieving during Christmatime, remembering Emmanuel, how to support friends or family going through a hard time, and a grief letter from GriefShare. We open up about our own years of suffering through the Christmas season and share encouragement for the person going through a hard time this year.
