Is it just another day… or the one day that can break your heart all over again?

In this festive special of It’s a Death Sentence, we rip open the glittery wrapping on Christmas when you’re grieving. We explore the pressure to create “perfect” memories, the guilt of wanting to hide under the duvet, and why sometimes the best gift is permission to do Christmas completely differently.

What You’ll Learn

- The Golden Ticket: How to (guilt-free) dodge the big production when grief has already stolen the spotlight.

- Old Traditions, New Rules: Why keeping some rituals and ruthlessly binning others can be the kindest thing you do for yourself and your family.

- It’s Just Another Day: The surprisingly freeing truth that helps you survive December 25th when everyone else is posting #bestchristmasever.

Stripped-back trees, shop-bought puddings, or full-on hiding until January - whatever gets you through the festive period, this episode is your reminder that you’re allowed to make Christmas whatever you need it to be. Because when grief is your uninvited guest, love looks a lot like lowering the bar and raising a glass to simply surviving.
