In honor of Grief Week—the first week of December when we collectively admit that grief deserves more than whispered conversations—Grief and Light (@griefandlight) brings together members of the Get Griefy Collective for a roundtable that’s honest, warm, and refreshingly real. This episode dives into how loss reshapes family dynamics: the shifting roles, the surprising moments of closeness, the power of community, and the boundaries that help us survive the holiday season with our sanity intact. Each guest is both a creator in the grief space and a fellow griever, bringing lived experience and just the right amount of humor and truth-telling.

It’s heartfelt with a side of “thank you for saying that out loud,” offering the kind of community conversation that reminds us we’re never as alone as grief tries to make us feel.

Episode Release Date: December 3rd @ 4am CST (on your favorite podcast platform)

12pm CST (YouTube premiere)

Tune in to the Grief and Light Podcast (griefandlight.com/podcast) on your favorite platform and get griefy with us!

You’ll feel seen, in the best way.

Grief shows up at work in many forms; some visible, many hidden. This conversation will be co-facilitated by Bloomwell Partners and Tomorrow Mourning. Throughout our time together we will explore the diverse “faces” of grief that employees may experience, from the sadness over the loss of a loved one, to changes in health, identity, relationships, role, or organizational structure. Through a blend of education, storytelling, and guided reflection, participants will learn to recognize how grief impacts performance, communication, morale, and team dynamics. By understanding the varied ways grief manifests: withdrawal, irritability, over-functioning, forgetfulness, fatigue, or sudden shifts in behavior leaders and colleagues will be prepared to respond with empathy and support.

Schools are more than places of learning—they are communities where students, educators, and families share daily life. When a loss affects that community, its impact can ripple outward, creating what we know as collective grief. This webinar explores how grief manifests in school settings, how it influences emotional well-being and learning, and what educators and staff can do to nurture resilience and connection during difficult times. Participants will gain an understanding of the unique dynamics of grief in group environments, including developmental considerations, cultural factors, and the different ways children and adults process loss. Practical strategies will be shared for responding to grief-related crises, supporting students and colleagues, and fostering a compassionate school climate that honors both individual and shared experiences of loss.

Hosted by Dr. Elreacy Dock and Dr. Kimberly Rich

A virtual retreat featuring a mix of workshops to help people navigate the emotional complexities of the holiday season while honoring their grief.

The holiday season can be one of the most challenging times for those grieving—whether the loss is recent or long ago. While the world seems to lean toward joy and celebration, many grievers feel unseen, disconnected, or pressured to “mask” their pain.

Navigating Holiday Grief: Tools, Resources and a Soft Place to Land, an immersive full-day virtual retreat, will offer:

●     Validation: Acknowledging that grief is valid year-round, especially during “celebratory” seasons.

●     Practical Tools: Skills to help participants navigate family gatherings, traditions, and emotional triggers.

●     Creative & Somatic Practices: Ways to process and express emotions beyond words.

●     Community Connection: Reminding grievers that they are not alone in their experience.
