Description

The holidays can be a time of joy and connection — but for many, they can also bring up feelings of stress, loss, or loneliness. Grief doesn’t only follow the death of a loved one; it can arise from any significant life change — such as financial challenges, family conflict, health concerns, divorce, injury, or the loss of stability or routine. In an industry known for its strength, resilience, and get-it-done mindset, it can be difficult to slow down and acknowledge those invisible burdens. During this session we will address: - Some of the challenges of the holiday season - The various types of losses we experience, beyond just losing loved ones - Self-care tips and how to support friends, family, and colleagues who are struggling - What to say (and what not to say) to someone dealing with grief during the holidays
