Holiday time is not easy for all… this time of year makes some think about loss and/or grief.
Not what many want to hear at this time of year… But holiday time can be both challenging and loving.
From my experience many family members have passed at this time of year…December is not just about Christmas as it has Chanukah and Kwanzaa, along with Greek Orthodox traditions.
To assist one in getting through the holidays, stay focused. Remember that there are traditions, memorializations, activities one can do to assist. Celebration of Life ceremonies, plaques, personal traditions related to photos, reading of poetry, walks in nature, and more.
More importantly one is never alone. There are always individuals available to chat with, message, call…
