Educational Signature Series: Grief Support for Continuing Bonds and Holiday Traditions by What’sYourGrief.com November 2025

A special virtual presentation for professionals providing grief care, including Hospice Professionals, Healthcare Workers, Clergy, Therapists/Counselors, Volunteers, Companions, Death Doulas, Death Care Professionals including Funeral Directors, Leadership and Administrative Professionals, Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Victim’s Advocates.

For many grieving people, the holidays can feel overwhelming. Traditions and rituals that once brought comfort can now feel painful or empty, leaving families unsure how to navigate the season. This session is for grief and mental health professionals who want to better understand how ritual can help during times of loss. We’ll look at research on the role of ritual in grief and the concept of continuing bonds, exploring why these ideas matter when supporting clients through the holidays. The session will cover:

• How grief disrupts familiar traditions—and how new or adapted rituals can help people cope
• Ways to use clients’ own values to guide meaningful holiday choices
• Practical tools to help grievers stay connected to those they’ve lost 

We’ll also address common challenges like changing or letting go of old traditions and navigating family conflicts around holiday plans.
