We Are Grateful For You
November 2021
As we move through our day-to-day business, it’s easy to take important things for granted. For a business like ours, we rarely get to thank the people who make our work possible: you.
As we head into the holiday season, we’d like to take a moment to let you know how grateful we are to have your support. We hope you never need us, but when you do, we’ll offer support, guidance, and assistance. Thank you!
HANDLING GRIEF OVER THE HOLIDAYS
For most of us, the holidays are filled with joy, celebration, and family. If you are grieving, however, this time of year can be particularly challenging. Besides navigating the typical hustle and bustle of activity, situations that you might have looked forward to in the past can become emotional triggers. From family traditions that evoke the memory of the missing person to encountering people who aren’t aware of the situation, there are many ways that the holidays can amplify grief.
Remember, grief comes in all shapes and sizes. There is no timeline and no right or wrong way to handle it. So be patient with yourself and care for your needs in the way that works for you. Our article Handling Grief During the Holidays offers some tips to help you manage your unique situation. This article can also be helpful if you are trying to help someone manage their grief.
If you feel your grief is more than you can handle, don’t hesitate to reach out to a friend, a loved one, or an organization specializing in helping people work through troubled times.
