Brave Through the Holidays: 12 Weeks of Dedicated Holiday Support for Widows and Widowers
For widows who feel the emptiness of “the empty chair,” the pressure to be “okay,” and the deep ache of doing this season without their person.
This is for you if…
- You feel a knot of dread when you think about Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s.
- “Family time” now highlights the huge, gaping hole where your person should be.
- You’re tired of faking being “fine” so other people feel comfortable.
- You want to honor your spouse, your faith, and your grief without being told to “move on.”
- You wish you had other widows to talk to who just get it, without explaining or defending yourself.
- You don’t want to do traditional therapy instead of action… you want support, tools, and a plan.
If your chest tightens thinking about getting through the next few months alone, this Circle is for you.
What you get inside Brave Through the Holidays
11 live calls over 12 weeks*, with support from October 21st through January 31, 2027 on Zoom led by Emily.
Each week we’ll focus on one theme and real time coaching:
- Facing the Dread & Anxiety of the Season
- Family Expectations, Invitations, and “I just can’t this year”
- Traditions: What to Keep, Change, or Let Go
- Triggers: Sights, sounds, smells, and surprise waves of grief
- Loneliness on the Big Days (and what to actually do)
- Stepping into the New Year without abandoning your person
You can share, or just listen. Both are welcome.

A gentle, faith‑friendly space (no toxic positivity, no judgment) where you can check in between calls, ask for prayer, share wins, and not feel like the only widow in the room.
