Ep #105 Embracing Christmas Past - My First Christmas Without You (Part One) with Karyn Lynn Grant, The Joy Coach Christmas is a season of wonder, nostalgia, and joy, but for those grieving the loss of a loved one—whether through death or divorce—it can also be a time of deep poignancy and loneliness. In this heartfelt episode, Karyn Grant reflects on her own journey as a single mother navigating the complex emotions of the holidays. Through tender storytelling and original Christmas songs written year after year, Karyn weaves together a tapestry of memories—some wistful, some joyful—that capture the bittersweet beauty of the season.
This is part one of a two-episode series, culminating in Karyn’s deeply personal song, “My First Christmas Without You,” written in honor of her father. Join Karyn in this reflective episode, and stay tuned for part two on The Stories She Sings. As we remember those facing loss during this special time of year, Karyn encourages us to extend compassion and share these episodes with anyone who might need a little extra love and comfort this holiday season.
