A Note From the Bereavement Services Coordinator
Oh, the holidays! The best, and sometimes hardest, time of the year. We tend to idealize the holidays, striving for the perfect experience. This is a time for families to come together. It’s a time to enjoy being with one another and make memories. It really can feel blessed, but going through the holidays for the first time after a death can be harrowing. The pain of loss can resurface. The realization that the traditions are forever changed… the sense that things are not the same… the knowledge that someone important to you is gone. Yet there continues to be the high expectations for a happy holiday. These experiences are normal.
Surviving the holidays while grieving is a big topic. Thankfully, there are many resources available to help you get through the season. We have a few articles and several resources to help you. Our bereavement team is also available to talk by phone or in person, if the general resources don’t meet your need.
Despite the grief, there can still be hope and there can still be joy. That is the miracle of the holidays.
