Everything in our lives is wonderful and you know loss is a part of life.
Holidays and special occasions often bring joy and togetherness, but for those grappling with loss, these days can be particularly tough.

After the tragic loss of her daughter, Valerie faced the daunting task of finding a way to cope with these moments. She shares her journey and offers heartfelt advice to help others manage their emotions during such times.
Valerie dives into the challenges of facing holidays when someone you love is missing. She talks about the overwhelming urge to avoid these days altogether and provides practical tips to make them more bearable. One key suggestion is to find ways to honor and celebrate the life of the person you've lost, rather than focusing solely on their absence. She also addresses milestone dates, like anniversaries, and stresses the importance of connecting with others.
Whether it’s family, friends, or a therapist, having a support system can make a significant difference. Valerie encourages openness about your feelings and seeking help when needed. Another important topic she covers is handling passive-aggressive behavior from others and avoiding putting too much pressure on one single day. Valerie advises being flexible, going with the flow, and not getting bogged down by details. She highlights the importance of not isolating yourself and finding joy in small moments.
Valerie also mentions her holiday course, which offers additional tips and support for managing grief during these times. Her message is clear: while loss is an inevitable part of life, with the right mindset and support, it’s possible to find happiness even during difficult times. Tune in to this episode of 'Warriors in Hope' for Valerie’s compassionate guidance on navigating holidays and special occasions when someone you love is missing.
