Giving Grief Grace

Episode 28 - Grief Through the Holidays: Ideas, Rituals, and Support for the Hard Days

Lisa Hartung Season 1 Episode 28

The holidays can feel overwhelming when you’re grieving. In this episode, we are joined by Walker Posey, a fourth-generation funeral director at Posey Funeral Directors and National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) spokesperson known for blending tradition with meaningful, modern ways to honor life and support families. Together, we explore grief through the holidays with practical ideas, gentle rituals, and compassionate guidance for navigating a season that brings both love and heartache.

Walker shares insights from decades of serving families through some of their most tender moments, including how personalized remembrance, community connection, and even small, creative rituals can bring comfort during the holidays. Whether this is your first holiday without someone you love, or you’re supporting someone who is grieving, this conversation offers understanding, tools, and hope.
