When Autumn Comes: Seasons of Hope for Medical + Disability Moms18 Des 2024

Tis The Season | Navigating the Holidays

Tis the season of family visits and travel, baking cookies and decorating, shopping for all of the gifts…Its enough to make your head spin. But how do you manage all of the demands when every day life is already so demanding?

Today, Suz and Katrina talk all things Christmas. They discuss their ideal and what the holidays look like in reality. We hear the ways in which they have created their own magic, even when disease takes them away from typical family memories. Ultimately, Suz and Katrina share what they have done to preserve sanity and joy around the holidays.

"I have a problem and it is Christmas." -Suz

The holidays are tricky to navigate for a lot of us. Throw in a healthy does of special needs and it is easy to spiral into a ball of stress. Have you found ways to make managing the holidays easier?
