How to Survive the Holidays When You're Grieving | Cozy Conversations | Ep 1

When everyone's posting matching pajamas and perfect Christmas trees, but your heart is stuck in grief… this one's for you. 💔 In this raw and honest episode of Cozy Conversations, host Natasha Shay Johnson sits down with Ebony Sierra to talk about something nobody wants to whisper about—grief during the holidays. No filters, no pretending, just two women who lost their mothers sharing what it REALLY feels like when joy season meets the weight of loss. *In This Episode:* ✨ Why grief hits different during the holidays ✨ The guilt of not being "festive enough" ✨ Why you feel stuck while everyone else is moving fast ✨ Making impossible medical decisions and the guilt that follows ✨ Why staying busy doesn't heal you ✨ How to cope: new traditions, lighting candles, and giving yourself permission ✨ The complicated feelings of laughing and being happy after loss Shay opens up about losing her Haitian mother to pancreatic cancer and the moment she heard the word "hospice." Ebony shares her journey seven years after losing her vibrant Puerto Rican mother unexpectedly—and why this is her first time really talking about it. This isn't therapy. This isn't about solutions. It's two moms, two business owners, two daughters without their moms—giving you permission to feel EVERYTHING without judgment. *You're not alone. You're not broken. And it's okay to not be okay this season.* 💬 Drop a comment if this episode resonated with you.
