Williston, ND Event: Coping with Grief During the Holidays

Grieving is difficult no matter the time of year, but the holiday season can make it especially poignant. The holidays are often a time for family gatherings, celebrations, and traditions—things that can feel overwhelming when someone is dealing with loss. This year, if you're struggling with grief during the holidays, you're not alone.

On Tuesday, November 12th at 5:30 PM, join Alex Johnson from Midwest Metaphysics for Conversations Beyond Life at the Williston Community Library as they explore how to navigate grief through the holidays. This free, open-to-the-public event will offer insight into the complex emotions that accompany grief during a season that is often filled with joy for others.

Alex Johnson, an expert in holistic healing practices, will share valuable tools and perspectives to help you cope during this challenging time. Whether you’ve recently experienced a loss or are still healing from a past one, this conversation will offer a supportive environment for individuals to discuss their feelings and find comfort during the holidays.

The session will touch on ways to honor your grief while still engaging in holiday traditions, suggestions for self-care during the season, and how to set boundaries with others to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

For many, the idea of “moving on” can be difficult to reconcile with the need to keep a loved one’s memory alive. Whether you’re grieving a spouse, parent, child, or friend, you’ll find strategies to manage your grief while still caring for yourself through this time of year.

In addition, the event helps to demystify and destigmatize discussions around death and dying, encouraging a more open, supportive dialogue about the challenges of grief and loss. It’s an opportunity to explore these topics in a compassionate environment, providing tools for understanding and coping with the emotions that come with them.

Grieving through the holidays doesn't have to mean facing the season alone. There’s no "right" way to grieve, and it’s okay to seek help. The goal of this event is to provide guidance and reassurance that you’re not alone in your journey. If you’re struggling with grief, this is a chance to connect with others and find comfort in shared experiences.

All are welcome to attend this free session. For more information, please contact the Williston Community Library or Midwest Metaphysics.
