For many who are grieving the loss of someone dear to them, the holidays are not always a joyful time. After the death of a family member or friend, holiday traditions and the sense of togetherness are changed forever. For the one grieving, family and religious gatherings may spark feelings of sadness and loneliness in a room full of happy people. These feelings can be difficult to process.

If this is how you feel, or you know someone who may be suffering this time of year, Heartlinks offers grief support during the holidays. Our bereavement support staff can talk to you or meet with you to help navigate the holidays and other special times of the year. An RSVP is not required to attend any of the Grief and the Holidays workshops.
