Grief at Christmas with Liz and Kiera Dignam

There is also a blog post on Grief at Christmas for anyone who might find it useful https://shapesofgrief.com/blog/grieving-and-the-holidays/

Kiera Dignam, daughter of late Aslan frontman Christy Dignam, and Liz from Shapes Of Grief appeared on Ireland AM to discuss navigating grief during the Christmas season. Together, they explored the importance of creating space for loss amid festive pressures, adjusting expectations, and recognizing that a quieter, more subdued Christmas is no less meaningful. Their conversation offers insight into honoring both grief and celebration during what can be an emotionally complex time of year.
