We'd love to hear your feedback!

This special annual episode is produced for those of you who are finding "celebrating" really difficult (impossible?) this holiday season-- for any number of reasons, including grief, addictions, loneliness and mental health conditions.

The 6-minute episode features a reading by John Pavlovitz titled: "To Those Who Struggle This Christmas."

The sincere, supportive message is dedicated specifically to those who find the holiday season difficult due to personal struggles such as grief, loss, depression, or loneliness.

The essay acknowledges the pain and hardships that many experience during the holidays, offering a message of solidarity and encouragement. Pavlovitz reminds listeners that they are not alone in their struggles and that the pain they feel now is not the end of their story.

He reassures them that though the holiday may feel bleak, there will be brighter days ahead. The episode encourages listeners to embrace their feelings without guilt and reminds them of the love and support that exists, even in times of sorrow.

The hosts. Dr. Anita Sanz and Terry, also offer support through their Giving Voice to Depression Facebook community as a resource for those seeking understanding and connection.
