Nina (24), Vee (17), Troy (22) and Miranda (19) were all bereaved as teenagers and young adults and share how they cope with the Christmas season without their people. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers the pressure to celebrate Christmas like nothing has changed, the new festive traditions they have started, and their advice for others grieving this December.
