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

Dealing with grief during the holidays while everyone else celebrates gets easier with a plan. Decide which events you'll go to and for how long, keep a few short, true answers ready for the questions you dread, and give yourself permission to leave, mute and rest. You don't have to match anyone's cheer.
