Does the thought of the holidays make you want to run and hide until January 2nd?
You are not alone! Dealing with grief can result in wanting to isolate ourselves and avoid the reminders that cause us to feel our loss all over again.
Ask yourself; Am I avoiding or feeling the pressure of:
feeling alone
spending another holiday with my family?
holiday festivites because you don’t want to be the killjoy
the traditions because they make you sad
feeling anxious just thinking about all the reminders of this season
We can experience over 40 different types of losses during our lives such as
Death of a Loved One
Divorce/Break Up
Dysfunctional/Abusive Upbringing
Loss of Trust/Loss of Love/Loss of Safety
Pet Loss
Job Loss
Addiction
Empty Nest
Loss of Health
Financial Loss
Retirement/Career Change
Moving
Don’t be hard on yourself. You may be experiencing unresolved grief from either a recent loss or one from years ago.
I will be talking about:
* The myths of grief that we learn early in life.
* The unhealthy ways we cope with grief.
* Some tools that can help us work towards healing. We cannot make this season go away. So wouldn’t it be good if you found a way to find healing?
