Grieving during the holidays can be especially difficult, as the season often emphasizes family gatherings and joy, which may intensify feelings of loss. People mourning may experience sadness, loneliness, or anxiety, as traditions and celebrations can trigger painful memories. It's important to acknowledge these emotions and allow yourself time to heal. It’s okay to take a step back from holiday expectations. Paula Eggebrecht, School-Based and Adult Bereavement Specialist with Companions on a Journey, will be with us.
