In typical cases, the holidays can be an incredibly joyful and expressive time of year. However, after some individuals have experienced a loss, the holidays can become a time of stress and grief as they try to process the feelings that can arise after having\u202f cremation services in Silver Spring, MD<\/a>. Whether you have recently lost someone or you know someone who has experienced a loss, understanding ways to better care<\/a> for yourself can be highly beneficial, so here are some suggestions.<\/p>\n

Listening to Your Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the first things that are highly recommended is to take the time to make sure that you are taking appropriate care of yourself while you’re going through the experience. This can mean extra scheduling time for rest or planning activities that help focus on relaxation and processing the feelings arising.<\/p>\n

In the situation where you support someone who is experiencing a loss, being mindful to practice patience and compassion while they are going through the feelings is a priority. It is always helpful to take the time to reach out to gain support from others or find activities that can help to express emotions. Creating art or writing can be highly beneficial ways to openly share the grief so that you or whoever might be suffering is not carrying it alone.<\/p>\n

Creating Boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have been invited to many events, you may not feel like participating. It is not unreasonable to tell individuals no or that you are unavailable or to give yourself some leeway when attending events. This might look like not carpooling with others or making sure that you leave when you’re ready to.<\/p>\n

Making Different Choices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another thing you may want to consider is changing how you handle traditions. If the individual who passed away was the primary person for scheduling the events, there is the option to incorporate new themes or recipes for meal planning. You may also discuss this with other family members to see if they have anything they would like to add or remove from some family traditions.<\/p>\n

If you still want to honor the loved one, it can be beneficial to find ways to incorporate their memory into the celebration to help with the process of healing.<\/p>\n

Quality Through Commitment\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even with the joy and connection that holidays can bring, it can be tough to navigate, especially if expectations are placed on the grieving individual. It’s healthy to express needs directly to others in support, so there’s no question about what is needed.<\/p>\n
