Description: Kelsey Lizee Cecil on losing both parents and publishing Rally Takes the Train, the children's book her mom always wanted to write.

Christmas songs that remind you of lost loved ones hurt because music is wired tightly to memory, and holiday music is wired to home and family. The songs about going home usually sting the most. You can protect yourself, build a playlist that won't ambush you, and decide on your own timeline when to let the hard songs back in.
