As the holidays are approaching, you've done some amazing work setting the groundwork for surviving the holidays. Now, it's time to put those boundaries in place. This is a hard step. It requires courage and strength to do this. But it's an important part of making it through the holidays.

How is everyone feeling as we enter December?? I hope the first three weeks were helpful for you, and set a good foundation for the upcoming month. I know December can be hard for SO many reasons.

Last week, we spoke about identifying what we need. Now, this week, we talk about how to enact those boundaries. What boundaries do you need to put in place? Are there certain people that you need to speak to in order to enact those boundaries?
This is a hard step! But an important one. 
If you want to dig a bit deeper into your plan for surviving the holiday season, I'm hosting a live event on Tuesday, 11/21, at 12pm EST. During this time together, we will review our holiday plans and address any concerns for the holiday season. In order to join this event, simply sign up for a paid subscription on our Substack account: themiscarriagetherapist.substack.com

Welcome to part two of our series on survivng the holiday season! In today's episode, we reflect on what we actually need to make it through this season. Do we need to say no to certain events? Do we need exit strategies from holiday parties? Are there certain friends or family members you need to set boundaries with? This episode will explore how to identify what we need to get through this holiday season.

The holidays are HARD after a pregnancy loss. And it can feel like no one gets that, except for other loss parents. 
 
For the next 6-weeks, we will be going over how you can create the space and boundaries you need to have the holiday you hope to have. We will talk about coping skills, ways to build support, and practice self-compassion. We will talk about specific responses to your sister-in-law announcing she is pregnant at Christmas morning, or your grandmother asking on New Years' Eve when she's going to get her great-grandchild. 
 
I wrote a longer post on mindfulness on our Substack account. Read it here!

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. And, this Sunday, October 15th, is the Global Wave of Light day. This can be a challenging day for some of us. And, some of us can find it to be a day of healing. In this bonus episode, I talk about how you can honor your needs on this day. 
The Miscarriage Therapist will also be hosting a live event on our Substack account! This Sunday, October 15th, from 5:30pm - 7:30pm EST, we will gather to honor our babies, connect with one another, and light a candle as a memorial. In order to sign up, visit themiscarriagetherapist.substack.com.
All you need at the time of the event is a one-month paid subscription, only $5! I hope to see you all there.
