Are you bracing yourself for the holidays? The holidays after loss can feel like navigating an emotional minefield. One minute you might laugh at a memory, the next you're crying over a Christmas card. And that exhausting voice in your head keeps saying you should be doing more, feeling different, or holding it all together better. Here's what I want you to know: You don't have to love the holidays. You don't have to make them magical. You definitely don't have to hold it all together. Join me this week to discover how to decide what matters most this year, how to protect your energy by choosing your level of participation, and why emotional whiplash is completely normal during the holidays. I'll also share simple ways to include your person in the season and why simplifying, resting, and receiving help are essential for getting through this time. Join my free, 3-day live workshop, Happier Holidays for Widowed Moms, to learn 3 simple ways to make this season easier. It’s happening November 18th-20th, 2025, and you can register here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/freeholidayevent/ Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/337
