Many say that it is the season to be jolly. It is a time of rejoicing and cheer, its the holiday season. However, there are many that do not have that joy. They have lost someone they love. They are trying to just make it through the day. Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life’s biggest challenges. The person may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness. The grieving process is real and each person needs to be allowed to flow through it as needed for their own well-being.
