Episode 18 Show Notes

I want to talk about surviving the holidays I remember my first year after Aria died. I looked around and everyone was so excited for the Christmas season. There is such a feeling of joy, excitement and happiness. When you are grieving, it seems like all that excitement is too much to handle. And I longed for my old self who could laugh and not have a care during the holiday season.

-I want to share my first experience with Thanksgiving the first year after Aria died.

-The best way I can think of is to keep communication lines open.

-One year might be awful and you realize that this is what you need, so then next year you change it.
