  • The Holidays: Coping Through the Season

    For families of children who had or are living with a serious illness, the holiday season can be a mixed bag—one filled with joy, comfort, and love, but often also anxiety, sadness, and isolation. Holidays can intensify emotions, highlight the passage of time, and remind us of what was or what might never be, making even cherished traditions feel bittersweet. At the same time, they can offer opportunities for connection, reflection, and new ways of finding peace or joy through adapted rituals and shared experiences.

    Anticipating the holidays often brings its own emotional weight, but through honest conversation and mutual support, families can prepare for and navigate the season with greater understanding.

    Join members of the Network in a moderated discussion about the complex emotions that accompany significant days, strategies for coping, and the power of ritual and connection during the holiday season.

    Weaving Memories: A Holiday Guide to Preserving Family Stories

    Transform meaningful conversations into lasting keepsakes

    Join us for a 75-minute online workshop led by Dan Jung, founder of Storia and former caregiver to his grandmother with dementia.

    As caregivers, we spend countless hours with our loved ones—but meaningful conversations about their life stories often get lost in the daily routines of care. This session will teach you practical techniques to:
    -Facilitate story-sharing that feels natural, not like an interview or interrogation
    -Turn storytelling into an engaging activity that brings joy to both you and your loved one
    -Capture and preserve memories using voice, photos, and simple documentation tools

    Drawing from his caregiving experience and work helping families preserve their stories, Dan will share conversation prompts that spark memories naturally and simple ways to record and organize stories as you gather them. You’ll leave with practical tools to start preserving your loved one’s stories and create meaningful keepsakes that honor their legacy.

    Perfect for: Family caregivers seeking to honor their loved one’s legacy and create deeper connections through storytelling.
