Some suggestions for easing
Christmas grief
• Share your time with someone else. You don’t have to be alone during the holidays. There are many lonely people who could use your love and care. Helping others can make you feel better.
• It’s okay to let your real emotions surface. Don’t be afraid to cry. Have plenty of tissues on hand because tears may come at any time.
• Don’t deny yourself the gift of healing. Understand that heartaches will appear as you unpack the ornaments or prepare for the holiday season.
• Take care of yourself. Eat healthy foods, avoiding excess sugars and alcohol, which can depress moods. Soak up natural light – open the curtains, or go outdoors. Find enjoyable ways to get daily activity such as walking, exercising, or pursuing a favorite sport.
