HELPS~

Dealing with
the Holidays when your grief is very real
& your
heart is very heavy
Try to remember,
don’t try to forget
Give yourself
the gift of healing tears
Be realistic
in your expectations
Tell people
what you need; ask for their help
Don’t lose
the Holidays completely
Keep some
traditions.
Choose those
that bring you comfort
Visit a special
place that brings you warm memories
Listen to your
body
Take time
to rest, refresh & renew
Don’t wait
for others to bring you happiness
Light a special
candle in celebration of the love you still share
Donate
blood in honor of your loved one
Love is the
gift of Christmas;
the gift of
a loving God who cries when we cry
and stands
by us, even when we doubt
