Processing Traumatic Grief
Grief is complicated and unique— every person responds to loss in their own way and grief can impact every part of life. There is no formula for managing grief, and it can be such a helpless experience to go through.
Handling the Holidays After Loss
Grief is hard at any point in life, but grief around the holiday season just seems to hit a little differently. The holiday season is not just about the actual day, whether that's Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year's, etc. Part of the excitement that comes with the holidays is the preparation and energy leading up to the holidays. Holidays can be reminders of happy memories, but they can also illuminate the absence of someone special.
