Grieving During the Holidays

In this episode of We Help You Home, we explore what it’s really like to grieve during the holidays and why this season can feel especially heavy.
Our conversation offers gentle insight, validation, and practical ways to navigate traditions, expectations, and emotions while honoring your grief in a way that feels right for you.
