Bittersweet memories. Loss of traditions. An empty seat at the table. The holiday season can trigger sadness and despair for people grieving a loss. Join us for a 2-hour Zoom event called Surviving the Holidays where we talk about how to deal with grief around the holiday season: Friday, November 3, 7-9 p.m. on Zoom. Register here.

How Surviving the Holiday Works

• Relatable Video: The event begins with a 35-minute video that will help you feel understood and encouraged, with stories of people who have found healing after loss and practical tips from experts.

• Small-group Discussion: After the video, you will be given a safe, nonjudgmental space to share your experiences and feelings with the group—or simply listen. There’s no pressure to talk if you don’t want to!

• Survival Guide: You will be given a Holiday Survival Guide full of tips on how to navigate the season, including coping with painful emotions, handling social events and traditions, and more. (Cost: $7.00)
