For many, the holiday season is centered upon togetherness and creating joyful memories with loved ones. Often times the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of the holidays can create a sense of comfort and happiness. Yet, for families who are grieving the loss of a loved one, the holidays can be a source of sadness and difficulty.
Below are some ways you can help yourself, your child, a friend or family member who is grieving the loss of a loved one during the holiday season.
For additional support in coping with grief and loss, it may be helpful to find a therapist or a grief support group, such as The Compassionate Friends.
