Grief, Loss, and the Holiday Season

During the holiday season, many individuals will be facing a challenge much greater than what gifts to buy, or what foods to prepare -- they will be facing the holiday following the loss of a loved one.

Theresa Lynn, Grief Support/Community Outreach Manager at Hospice of Michigan, says "The key to finding hope during the holidays is to find the way of coping that is right for you." She offers the following series as a public service:

• Why Do the Holidays Make Loss Seem Especially Difficult?

• What Can I Do to Get Through the Holidays?

• How Can I Help Someone Who is Grieving During the Holiday Season?

• Does Grief Give Gifts During the Holiday Season?
