5 tips for dealing with grief
and loss
1.
Contact support services or family/friends if your
grief is getting too hard to handle on your own.
2.
Local support groups often have gatherings for
people who do not have family or friends around
to celebrate Christmas with.
3.
Contact your local community centre and seek
support and company over the festive season if
you feel up to it.
4.
Reconnect with your memories by doing
something that you used to do together, like
writing a letter to the lost person or revisiting that
favourite spot you shared.
5.
Give yourself permission to grieve and remember
that people show grief in different ways.
