Getting Through the Holidays After a Loss
Not everyone considers this “the most wonderful time of the year.” For those who have lost a loved one, the holiday season can bring feelings of loneness, sadness, and anxiety.
How will you get through the holidays? What if you get overwhelmed with grief? How can you preserve family traditions when you don’t feel like celebrating? Why can’t we just fast-forward to January? If this sounds like you, you are not alone.
Come together with others to share your loss and to exchange ideas for getting through the holidays without over extending yourself. You will learn strategies for dealing with normal feelings of dread as well as creative ways to take care of yourself and restore a sense of hope.
There is no cost for this program.
