Making Space for Grief and Joy: Reimagining the Holidays After Loss

A free online gathering to help you approach the holidays with tenderness and intention.

The holiday season can stir up deep emotions — moments of longing, loneliness, and unexpected joy. Join grief expert Claire Bidwell Smith and bestselling author Marisa Renee Lee for a heartfelt conversation about how to make space for both grief and joy this time of year.

Together, we’ll explore gentle ways to honor what’s been lost while allowing room for what still brings light.

During this 60-minute gathering, you’ll experience:

• Reflection on how expectations shift after loss
• Guidance on intentionally designing a holiday that honors your needs
• Journaling prompts to help you uncover “What do I actually need this season?”
• A closing ritual of remembrance and warmth

Come as you are — with your grief, your questions, and your heart.
