When the Holidays Hurt: December May Not Be Wonderful for Everyone

Description

December is often marketed as the most wonderful time of the year, but for many, it’s the hardest.

In this short episode, Megan Senese reflects on the complicated emotions that the holiday season can bring, especially for those navigating grief, anniversaries of loss, or simply a heaviness they can’t quite name.

This episode is a reminder that if December is difficult for you, you are not alone. And if it happens to be a good year for you? That’s okay too.

The throughline is this: none of us know what others are carrying, and offering more grace, patience, and humanity, at work and at home, can be the difference we all need.

Remember,
You’re not alone.
You don’t have to do this season alone.
You matter.
You are loved.
And you are important.
