Wishing you a holiday season filled with comfort, peace, and joy.

In this episode of Guiding Grief, host Nicholas Welzenbach talks with Financial Advisor Shannon Corpuz about something most of us put off: planning for the future before we're forced to.

Estate planning. Living Trusts. Long-term care. The tough conversations with aging parents or adult children. Shannon breaks down why these aren't just financial decisions—they're acts of love that protect your wishes and spare your family unnecessary stress during already difficult times.

When is the "right time" to start planning? Probably sooner than you think.

The holidays can amplify everything—joy, connection, but also stress and grief. Between shopping, cooking, family dynamics, and memories of those who are missing, anxiety can feel overwhelming.

Here's something that might help: cyclic sighing.

It's simple:
🌬️ Breathe in through your nose
🌬️ Take a second, deeper breath to fill your lungs completely
🌬️ Slowly exhale through your mouth until all the air is gone
🌬️ Repeat for 5 minutes

Stanford researchers found that this practice significantly lowers anxiety and boosts mood, energy, and peacefulness—especially when done regularly.

Sometimes the smallest tools make the biggest difference. Give yourself permission to pause, breathe, and find a moment of calm this season.

Grief doesn't disappear—it transforms.

What begins as an overwhelming presence slowly softens into something we carry differently. The intensity may fade, but the love remains constant. That quiet whisper is a reminder that those we've lost still matter, still shape us, still live on in how we move through the world.

There's no timeline for this journey, and there's no "getting over" someone who meant everything. Healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means learning to hold both the pain and the love together, finding a way forward while honoring what was.

If you're in that place where grief has become a quieter companion, know that this is part of the path. And if it still feels deafening, that's okay too. Wherever you are, you're exactly where you need to be.

Thanksgiving can be a challenging time for those who are grieving.

It's a time when we are SUPPOSED to feel grateful. And often, people in mourning are "encouraged" to find things to appreciate even when they are still mired in sadness.

This advice offered by Refuge In Grief provides context around the relationship of grief and gratitude and offers helpful ways to support the grievers in your life.

How do you support the people in your life who are grieving?

When was the last time you had a "not okay" day?

We all have them. And that is okay.

Moving is never easy—but later in life, it can bring a whole new layer of emotion. Leaving a longtime home often means saying goodbye to decades of memories and a sense of independence. The grief and overwhelm that come with that are real and valid.

In this episode of Guiding Grief, Mani Mortezaei, Director of Sales and Marketing at Tailored Transitions, shares how his team helps make senior moves and life transitions less stressful and more supported.

Tune in to this episode—and the rest of our Talking About Tomorrow series—for thoughtful conversations on preparing for life’s inevitable transitions.

Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on small, continuous improvements.

Although this ancient art wasn’t necessarily developed with grief in mind, kaizen can be applied to emotional well-being.

Grief and all that comes with it can be overwhelming. By taking small steps each day, we can gradually move toward healing.

Maybe you set aside a few minutes for mindful reflection. Or start a journal to write down special memories. This could also look like seeking support from loved ones when you need it. Some days, it could be as simple as brushing your teeth, eating a meal, or going for a walk.

Each of these small actions accumulates over time, leading to significant positive change.

Grief and loss isn’t something you get over. It’s something you integrate into the future. The art of kaizen, taking tiny steps forward, can help.

What small step has been healing in your grief journey?
