TIP #4 SURVIVING GRIEF DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON

TIP # 4 - FIND SUPPORT
By Angela Morrow, RN, About.com Guide (website: www.dying.about.com/od/thegrievingprocess/a/holiday-grief.htm)

Sharing your feelings is the best way to get through them. You need people you can talk to. Friends and relatives can be a great support to us during times of grief, but they are sometimes full of their own grief or so immersed in the business of the holidays that they cannot be a support to you. Support groups for caregivers and the bereaved are plentiful during the holiday season. Check with local churches, community centers, and hospice agencies to find a group that suites you. Support group members often make friends that end up being a source of support for years to come.
