Get Me Through the Holidays: Coping with Loss on Days That Hold Special Meaning
From Providence Hospice of the Gorge:
By Haley Martin
The Dalles, Ore., Oct. 28, 2025 — Many people are filled with happy anticipation as the holidays approach. For those who have experienced a significant loss, this is often not the case. Aware that the person who died will not be with them, the holiday season can intensify feelings of sadness, isolation, anxiety, and loss for those who grieve. It can be difficult to decide what to do.
This seminar helps people who are grieving a loss through death to discover practical and meaningful ways to cope during the holidays. Many of these coping strategies can be used for other important days, such as birthdays and anniversaries. In addition, those who want to offer their support will discover tips for how to help someone who is grieving.
