'You Are Not Alone:' For Those Grieving, Holidays Are Difficult At Best, Find Support With CT Hospice

BRANFORD, CT — The Connecticut Hospice understands and may be able to help.

"Grief and the holidays. During this season, regardless of which holidays, faith, or culture you honor, we at the Connecticut Hospice understand that it can be a difficult time.

Life may feel heavy, and the path unclear. Please remember to be gentle with yourself, spend time with people who allow you to express your grief openly, and remember it’s common for your feelings to ebb and flow.

It’s OK to say no, create new traditions, and commemorate your loved one in ways that are comforting for you, while understanding that joy and sorrow can coexist.

Acknowledging your grief, caring for yourself, and honoring the memories of the past can give you strength for the present and provide hope for a new and beautiful landscape in your life’s journey."
