Holiday Traditions and Grief with Angel Wynn

Dec 11, 2025

How can faith and traditions help us get through grieving during the holiday season? 

Today, host Tina Yeager is joined by filmmaker and creative minister Angel Wynn to address navigating grief during the holiday season. Inspired by her own family’s struggle after her mother’s stroke, Angel Wynn shares the heart behind her new short film, “Last Christmas,” which explores the healing power of faith, community, and shared memories.

Together, they discuss the pressure to feel joyful during the holidays, the importance of reaching out for support—especially in an increasingly isolated world—and how to offer comfort to those who are hurting. Angel Wynn reveals practical ways to honor lost loved ones, build meaningful traditions, and find hope in the true meaning of Christmas. Whether you’re personally grieving or want to support someone who is, this episode offers encouragement, empathy, and actionable advice for finding light even in the darkest seasons.

Here’s what you’ll find in this week’s episode:

Faith, Community, and Healing:
Angel Wynn opens up about how prayer, having a supportive community, and reaching out—even when it’s difficult—can make all the difference in moving through grief (not just during the holidays, but all year long!).

How Creative Storytelling Brings Light:
Discover how sharing stories, both in film and in life, helps us process grief and makes space for hope. Angel Wynn’s approach as a creative minister is to let God’s light shine through every story she tells, reaching people in ways sermons sometimes cannot.

Practical Ways to Support Yourself and Others:
Whether you’re the one grieving or you know someone who is, both Tina Yeager and Angel Wynn share practical tips—like recreating cherished traditions or simply creating safe spaces for conversation and prayer.
