For people who have lost a loved one, through death, divorce, or even relocation, holidays throughout the following year ofte prove painful and difficult. Rituals that brought joy in years past serve instead as stark reminders of missing loved ones. Surrounding yourself with others who can understand can be helpful.
Tonight we are having a special evening: Grief and the Holidays – 6:30 at our office. If you have had a family member or close friend die and would like to come share with others, join us. There are ways to cope and get through the holidays and even to find comfort.
Don’t ignore your grief. Ignoring the loss will not make it go away. Feeling is healing.
Remember … set aside time to remember and give others a chance to share their feelings.
