    Christmas is often described as the most wonderful time of the year—but for those who are grieving, it can also be one of the hardest. In this episode, Amber shares vulnerably about her first Christmas without her Grandma and Grandpa Sirstad, who passed away just six days apart in March.

    This episode explores the year of firsts, how grief shows up in small traditions and everyday moments (like the absence of flannel bed sheets), and how faith can meet us in both sorrow and comfort. With honesty, warmth, and compassion, Amber reminds listeners that grief does not mean Christmas is ruined—it means Christmas is different.
