Grieving Through the Holidays (w/ Grief Therapist Gina Moffa)

The holidays are “supposed” to feel warm, safe, and familiar — but when you’re grieving, they can feel ten times heavier. In this episode, Gabri sits down with grief and trauma therapist Gina Moffa to break down what’s actually happening inside of you during the holiday season: why memories hit harder, why joy feels complicated, and why even simple moments can feel overwhelming.


Together, they talk through practical ways to care for yourself during the holidays, including how to check in with what you need in real time, how to handle traditions (keep them, change them, or skip them), and how to find “micro comforts” when grief shows up unexpectedly. They also get into the reality that grief is messy and non-linear — and why “moving on” doesn’t mean letting go.


Gina Moffa is a NYC-based grief therapist and the author of Moving On Doesn’t Mean Letting Go.
