The holidays can be bittersweet when anticipation and joy are mixed with grief and loss. The normal hustle and bustle of the holidays include great things like dinners, parties, gift exchanges, performances, and family gatherings. But for those experiencing loss, October through December can be excruciatingly painful months. Grief is not limited to the death of a loved one. Separation, divorce, illness, family trauma, job loss and even moving to a new location all result in great loss that can make the holidays difficult. In this episode of The Bridge Podcast, we discuss tips and share resources to help you survive the holidays while grieving.
