When the Holidays Hurt (Part 2): Grief and Disorientation After Betrayal

The holidays can stir up overwhelming waves of grief and confusion. The music, the smells, the traditions — they bring back joyful memories and painful reminders of betrayal, leaving many women asking: “What was ever real?”

 

Learn how to recognize the power and purpose of your anger, the “bargaining” stage of grief, and create safe space to process painful memories. Know that your grief isn’t a setback — it’s a sign of deeper healing.

 

Grief Questions Kristin mentions in this episode:

 

Set a reasonable goal to regularly process your grief (for example, 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week). Journal out your responses to one question each day, Close your grief processing time with a gratitude list. Pay attention to ways that you see and experience gifts and beauty and enjoy them for a moment.
