The holidays can feel overwhelming after the death of your child, especially when others expect you to keep showing up and doing everything you’ve always done. In this episode, Laura talks about setting holiday boundaries after child loss and giving yourself permission to be honest about what you can handle this year.
With personal memories and practical suggestions, Laura shares ways to adjust traditions, make room for your child’s memory, and talk with family about what you need. This is a gentle reminder that you can love the people around you, recognize your own limits, and ask God for grace to take these holidays a day at a time.

Grieving Parents Sharing Hope (GPS Hope) is here to walk with parents through the darkness of child-loss, guiding them to a place of hope, light and purpose.
It is a safe place for anyone who has lost a child from this earth. There is no shame or judgment in where you are in this journey, including if you are struggling in your relationship with God or your faith has been completely shattered.
