Join Our Live Event: Surviving the Holidays Together

How to Handle Holiday Grief 

Every year, millions of people go through the holidays carrying invisible grief. The world tells us to “be merry,” while inside, we’re just trying to hold it together. But what if this year was different? What if, instead of pretending to be okay, you gave yourself permission to be real — and found community, meaning, and moments of peace along the way? Welcome to “Don’t Do the Holidays Alone” — a 6-week live support experience designed to help you move through this season with understanding, connection, and hope. Led by Toni Filipone, grief educator, speaker, and founder of MasterGrief®, this space isn’t about fixing pain. It’s about transforming it — together. We’ll meet Tuesdays at 3 PM EST and Thursdays at 8 PM EST, beginning the week of November 10th, for six weeks of guided conversation, gentle practice, and real community. Each session includes a live Q&A with Toni — an open space to ask questions, share experiences, and receive personalized insight and encouragement. And because giving back matters, 10% of every enrollment  is donated to Feeding America, helping families across the country put food on the table during the holidays. 💫 6-Week Journey: “Don’t Do the Holidays Alone” Week 1 — November 18: Facing the Holidays with an Honest Heart Understanding your emotional landscape and setting gentle expectations for yourself this season.
