How to Get through the Holiday without Your Person
A Mini Course
The Holidays can be joyful, and they can be really hard.
One of the most challenging aspects of grief is that occasions that were once very joyful can feel very difficult. Holidays can underscore how lonely, isolated, exhausted, sad, angry, and burdened you feel.
I can relate. I lost one of my four sons to bone cancer in 2016 and my husband of 25 years in 2020. I know what it's like to move through Holidays while grieving. Because I want to share what I have learned over the years with others, I have put together this mini course to provide you with support in moving though your Holiday.

Hi! Jen Ripa.
I am a Certified Grief Educator and Expressive Arts Life Coach.
I've also lost one of my four sons to bone cancer and my husband of 25 years. I am no stranger to grief and the difficulty involved in moving through holidays without them physically here. I've leaned on these experiences and my various trainings in coaching, expressive arts, and yoga to create this mini course for you. My hope for you is that it will make more joy and meaning available to you this Holiday than you thought possible.
