Griefy Christmas Advent Calendar

31 days of gentle permission for us grievers, free to download

The festive period can be one of the most tender times of the year when someone you love is missing from it. If that’s you, you’re not alone. I’m right there with you.

So I made you a little dose of permission and kindness for every day of December, all the way through to New Year’s Eve. Open one a day, take what helps and leave what doesn’t. There’s no right way to do Christmas when you’re grieving.

you will receive

• 31 daily affirmations and gentle prompts

• 6 weekly themes, from the gift of honouring you to the gift of doing New Year your way

• A simple grounding practice for each week

• Printable for your fridge, or keep it on your phone

Hi, I’m Tanya,

I’m an AC, IPHM and ACCPH certified Grief & Life Transitions Coach, host of the Death on the Daily podcast, and mum to our darling daughter Ngākau Raiona, who died in 2023 five months into pregnancy.

I made this calendar because I know how much Christmas can ache when you’re grieving and that special someone is missing from the table, or that special pet is missing from cuddles on the sofa.

I wanted you to have a little dose of kindness, compassion and understanding every day of December.

From one griever to another, with love and griefy solidarity.
