Helping yourself and others cope with the grief during the holiday season:
Navigating grief at any time of year is no simple feat. Around the holidays, when everyone seems to be focused on gratitude and merriment, and revelry with loved ones, grief can become even heavier. It can also bring up painful or bittersweet memories of traditions with passed loved ones and make that grief feel even more tender. Seeking support, such as grief counseling, can make a significant difference.

The holidays usually mean big gatherings with friends and loved ones–which can both help us connect with those who are important to us and be a source of stress when those connections don’t align with how we envision them. Complex relationships often bring about complicated conversations, so taking time to be prepared for tense discussions (and knowing when to walk away from them) or seeking support through family therapy in Houston, TX, can help you keep your peace this holiday season:

Making time for self-care this holiday season:
