Grief is tricky to navigate -- this is all SO helpful, thank you! I wrote recently about my experiences with the holidays after pregnancy loss. My first miscarriage was right before Thanksgiving last year, and I tried to "push through" the holidays like normal and it was just awful. This year, after a second miscarriage, I have really been trying to limit all the stressful things that come up around Christmas time, and it's been so much better. I appreciate that you are drawing attention to this!!
