Holidays can be hard after we've suffered the loss of a loved one. However, there are ways to approach special seasons without being overwhelmed. Rev. Julie Collins talks with Susan and Alex about how we can enter the "most wonderful time of the year" with a plan, healthy expectations, and the readiness to give yourself and others grace when it's still hard.

Meet Dwight Owens. Dwight shares his journey from life as an able-bodied young man chasing his dreams to having his world turned upside down by the thoughtless act of a 71-year-old drunk driver. With no visible signs of life, having coded twice, the doctors called his death. But Dwight survived against all odds. Although there were many physical and emotional setbacks, Dwight Owens is alive and well today, embodying what it means to live life with joy and hope.

“After spending almost a full year of my life in the hospital fighting for my life, God brought me back from the brink of death. I was declared a miracle. For that reason, despite my circumstances, I wake up every morning with unbelievable joy with a goal to make each day count for something!” ~Dwight Owens
