Grief and the
Holidays​

The holiday season can be a time of joy for many, but for those grieving, it often feels overwhelming and isolating. You don’t have to face this difficult time alone. At Pathways, we understand the complex emotions that surface during the holidays and are here to support you every step of the way. Whether it’s finding new traditions, acknowledging the loss, or simply allowing yourself to feel what you need to feel, our workshop is designed to help you navigate this season with grace and care. You don’t have to do it all or do it alone—Pathways is here to offer compassionate guidance and a safe space to share your journey.
