God forbid I kill the vibes, like my husband sure did: grief over the holidays

As the holidays draw ever closer, there is more pressure than ever to perform gratitude. It’s a time when – despite the decorations and the cheerful music and the constant flood of party invites – many of us feel decidedly NOT OK. On today’s episode, Nora revisits her first season of grief: the first Thanksgiving after her husband, Aaron, passed away. Many of us are entering our seasons of grief or are reminded of the people that are not able to celebrate the holidays with us. Today, Nora is reminding you of one important fact: holiday cheer is entirely optional.

If the holiday season is difficult for you, you are not alone. Your grief does not need to take a backseat to gratitude. You can have both.
