Grief Conversations: I Can't Imagine the Holidays Now That My Loved One is Gone

Grief Conversations is a live 30 minute virtual session with counselor Amy Monzingo, MS, LMHP, LMHC. Amy will share expert, compassionate guidance as she addresses some issues you have experienced or are currently experiencing on your grief journey.

Grief is unique to each of us and can be very isolating. Grief Conversations will focus on the positive aspects of connection, healing, and coping mechanisms.

Our conversation this month: "I can't imagine the holidays now that my loved one is gone."

Amy says during the holidays, it seems to those of us who are grieving that the spotlight is shining down on that empty seat next to us, just shouting to the world that our loved one is not here to experience this joyous season. How do we maneuver through the holidays while we are grieving? Our conversation this month will focus on the importance of communicating our wishes and expectations to those around us, as well as allowing others to share their wishes, too.

Whatever type of loss you've suffered, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. But by understanding the stages and types of grief, you can experience healthy ways to cope in order to move forward in your life. Please join us.
