Strategies for Those Grieving through the Holidays

For people who are grieving, holidays can often be times of
immense sadness. While others are celebrating, people coping with loss can feel alone and in emotional pain. This
webinar will present several activities designed to help people who are grieving reframe the holiday season into a time
of celebration for the life of a loved one rather than a time of mourning for the loss of that loved one. The activities
presented will be applicable to secular holidays as well as the holidays celebrated within Christian, Jewish, and Islamic
faith traditions.
