We know the holidays can bring a mix of emotions of joy and longing as we continue to celebrate while we have people we are missing. We can keep our people with us in our holiday celebrations in many different ways and we are allowed to enjoy our holiday and miss our person. Both things can be true!

Every year, without fail, these are the first two boxes of gifts under the tree. They aren’t aesthetic, but they are meaningful. This is their 10th Christmas under my tree and and inside I’ve written down the different gifts that my mom and dad gave me. Some physical things like a bike and many dolls, but many are intangible things like how they taught me to love others and how to make Christmas my entire personality this time of year. This is one way I keep them close during the holidays and even though this was a craft I did with a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds during a grief group, it is still meaningful and an important Christmas addition to our decor. 🤍

What are some things you do to remember your people who have died during the holiday season?

Finding a meaningful gift for someone who is grieving can sometimes be tricky. You want to acknowledge their feelings while also honoring the fact that the holidays are upon us and they can still have moments of fun. Our Unbox Your Grief Boxes are a way of showing the people and families you love that you are thinking about them this season.

They contain great activities for the family that will help them remember their person in the holiday season, discover coping skills, and have some fun. They are available for the upcoming holidays of Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years as well as other holidays and their person’s Death Anniversary and Pet Loss.

Happy Thanksgiving from Talamantez Therapy! We hope you had the day that was best for you whether it included a 3 course meal or a casual get together with football and friends. Our hearts are always with those that are missing loved ones for any reason, especially those who are grieving as we go into the holiday season. We know we have people we have loved that we keep close with us throughout the holidays that we miss terribly and we keep them alive through special memories and traditions. We hope you find ways to remember your special people, also.

As we officially enter the holiday season, we wish you nothing but peace and comfort. We are thankful for our friends and family and for the community we have the pleasure of working with every day. We are so grateful to be back working together this year, and we wouldn’t be able to do that without the people who trust us with their kiddos.

Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Bryna, Michael, and Nevaeh the fur baby 🐾

Today on National Child Grief Awareness Day, I finished up a month long marathon of presenting about child and teen grief. Why do I present so much on top of working with children and teens who are grieving? This is what I know to be true:

💙In our community, so many children and families carry grief. 1 in 13 children in Texas will lose a parent or sibling before age 18, and that number doubles by age 25. This doesn’t even include the loss of grandparents, stepfamily members, friends, or other significant people in their lives.

💙 Kids and teens of all ages feel the impact of a death loss. They experience grief feelings, physical symptoms, and intense worries and fears.

💙They need their adults around them to help them with by listening to their feelings and not dismissing their grief. They need help developing coping skills. They need you to say their person’s name and not forget their person was important. This can be any adult, not just trained mental health professionals.

I want everyone to know about child and teen grief because over 6.4 million children in the US will experience the death of just a parent or sibling. This will stay with them their entire life. Let’s help them with protective factors, because grief can become a public health issue if we don’t offer them coping skills, a caring community, and resources for their adults to be consistent caregivers.

Want to learn more or have me come speak with your group? Email me at bryna@talamanteztherapy.com so together we can help children and teens not feel alone on their grief journey.

There are many ways you can support a child or teen who is grieving. This Child Grief Awareness Month, take a look at these 7 ways you can support young people on their grief journey. It’s about showing up and being there with them.

For free resources on supporting children and teens who are grieving, visit nacg.org/resources.

11/04/2025

The 2025 numbers are in. 1 in 11 children in the US will experience the death of a parent or sibling before they turn 18. This is over 6.4 million children.

With this many children that are navigating grief in our country, we can all do better in learning about how to talk about grief with them. Less “they’re in a better place” and phrases that start with “at least…” and more “what does your grief feel like right now?” And “I’m wondering if you missed mommy on Halloween. We can talk about it if you’d like.”

Follow along for more information on child and teen grief during National Child Grief Awareness Month this November.

It’s ADHD Awareness Month! We were happy to write an article for this month to help parents understand more about ADHD.

In this article you will find:

🧐What is ADHD, and what does it look like in your child? This essential guide helps parents understand the three types of ADHD (Hyperactive, Inattentive, and Combined) and common traits like time blindness and sensory sensitivity.

🧘‍♀️ Learn practical ways to support your child, from incorporating physical activity for emotional regulation to using noise-canceling headphones for sensory relief.

🏠 Discover why routines and structure, though often resisted, help children with ADHD thrive. Remember, ADHD is not a reflection of effort!
