About this listen

Grief doesn’t take a holiday… and sometimes the loudest thing at the table is the silence where someone used to sit.
In this episode of Still Holy, Still Healing, Natasha Elaine opens up about loss, faith, and the sacred places where God meets us when the holidays feel heavy.

This intro leads into an honest conversation with therapist Psalm McDaniels on how to process grief, support hurting friends, and make space for peace when the season feels anything but merry.

If you’re carrying an empty chair this year… you are not alone.

What You’ll Hear:
• Why grief gets louder in December
• How to let God sit in what heartbreak left behind
• What NOT to say to grieving friends
• Healthier ways to cope when the ache feels overwhelming
• How gratitude transforms grief (without dismissing it)
• A prayer inviting the Holy Spirit into your healing
