Grief and Valentine's Day

Special days and holidays can sometimes trigger memories and difficult emotions in individuals who have experienced the loss of a loved one.   For those who have lost a spouse or partner, Valentine's Day can feel particularly cruel because of its emphasis on togetherness, love, and romance. And, just like Halloween and Christmas, with all the lead up marketing and in-store merchandise displays, Valentine’s Day is practically impossible to avoid.   Find out how you can navigate grieving during Valentine's Day in this week's podcast.
