    Grief: Coping with Holidays

    About this ebook

    “Oh it's a jolly holiday with you ….”

    Holidays, steeped in family traditions, are not always jolly when you are also experiencing a loss of a loved one through death or divorce, a job loss or any number of loss scenarios. Accepting what is does not negate the difficulties in finding a “new normal” for family traditions, whether it is in the food we eat, the locations, or the very real hole that is left in the fabric of what has always been a celebration.

    Author, Jody Neufeld, brings her years with hundreds of hospice families as well as her own loss experience to share practical ways to take steps through a time of the year that is filled with emotions and expectations. Find a holiday time you can live!

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’

      And yet here I am, less than a year to 40, with a brand-new, shiny adjective to describe me. Divorced. A word I am all too familiar with from childhood. By the time I was 11, my parents were each in their third marriage, and I was well aware that the

      Let’s talk of what’s good in the world. It’s easy to forget what’s going well when there’s so much focus on what’s going wrong. The news cycle seems to turns on crime and environmental disasters and economic crises and autocrats. When you ask someone

      Dr. David Alan Black,

      October 2016

      It’s weird how life works. If you had asked me a year ago what my big plans for the fall break of 2016 were, they wouldn’t have included a climbing trip to Colorado. They wouldn’t have included writing a book about my journey since Becky [his wife] went to heaven. They wouldn’t have included starting a Greek class in Hawaii. It seems like I’ve packed in more fun, crazy, and incredible adventures in the past 365 days than in the previous 10 years put together. I have no doubt that the next 365 days are going to be filled
