Coping with Grief During the Holidays. Soon Christmas songs will fill the airwaves hailing "the most wonderful time of the year." Do the songs get earlier every year or do we just notice it when your moods are low? If you find yourself having difficulty listening to the greetings this year, you are not alone. Many people find that anticipation of the holiday is more difficult than the day itself. Perhaps meeting with others who have experienced the loss of a loved one would be helpful. Please consider our upcoming support group, Coping with "Grief During the Holidays" at Hope Hospice. The sessions will be held on Thursdays from 6:30-9:00 pm on November 8, 15, 29, and December 6, 13, and 20. Grieving should not be done alone and we can best be healed when we talk with others who are on a grief journey. If you are interested in coming to our group, please contact Linda at 412.367.3685. |
