Podcast: Tis the Season for Holiday Grief

On a Dragonfly's Wings, "Let's Talk About IT. ALL.THE.THINGS." 

Episode 19: Tis the Season of Holiday Grief, Dec, 11, 2024

Jerilynn Jacobson from Giesken Counseling joins us this episode to talk all things holiday grief. This season is so full of joy and yet at the same time, holds so much sadness for many who have lost loved ones. We miss their presence and being a part of our traditions.

Grief is normal, and it is okay to be sad and joyful, even simultaneously. This season is about giving ourselves grace and being kind to ourselves. It's about finding ways that work for us to memorialize our loved ones as a way to include them. And it's a time to set boundaries and be aware that we may not have the bandwidth for all the things that holidays bring. AND THAT'S OKAY.

"All three of my children, including one of their significant others, attend Giesken Counseling, and I can't thank Giesken enough! The help that all of them have received over the years has made a tremendously beneficial impact on the quality of their lives. As a family, we ALL highly recommend Giesken Counseling!"

“Our school partnered with Giesken this year to run a grief group. They have been excellent to work with - very supportive and willing to come and lead the group right away! I had a really great experience working with David Turner who facilitated the group. He was always prompt, willing to debrief and implement changes based on students' feedback. He was also flexible to come to our buildings for the group sessions at different times to accommodate students' schedules. We received such great feedback from students who found comfort & support from having this type of group with other students during school hours. We can't thank David and Giesken Counseling enough!”

"Our grandson has been visiting one of the wonderful counselors at GCS for the last three months, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s heartwarming to see his smile coming back, and he’s enjoying more happy days. Plus, he’s doing a great job managing his emotions. We’re so thankful our daughter discovered GCS for him!"

“A loved one saw David. David's patient manner and demeanor were a perfect match. Patient /counselor worked together to develop goals, evaluating progress and roadblocks during sessions. David ensured my loved one felt their treatment plan was their own, ensuring autonomy and respect, building confidence, and providing helpful counsel to specific challenges.”

Their office is truly compassionate and genuinely committed to helping their clients work through the obstacles they are facing. It's a safe and non-judgmental environment where you will feel comfortable opening up about your needs, concerns, and struggles."

“I have been seeing Jessica P. at Giesken Counseling for the better part of a year now, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is wonderful and has helped me immensely as I navigate all the things that come after welcoming a new baby. The office staff are also always friendly as well, and it was very easy to try another counselor (Jessica) when I first started with Giesken after the first person I saw was not a good fit.”

I love Laurie and Julia and all the office staff are so sweet! 10/10 recommend!

I had the opportunity to refer someone to the GCS Rochester Hills location - the process was smooth for both myself and the client. Cannot recommend this agency enough - wish there were more stars!

NP Katie really listens to me and asks questions to fully understand my needs and makes adjustments as applicable. I feel comfortable and heard here.
