Tips to navigate the holidays...Interpreted from “Healing Your Holiday Grief” by Dr. Wolfelt

"UNDERSTAND THE SIX NEEDS OF MOURNING Need #5: Search for Meaning."

You will likely do this almost immediately in some way. You may search for meaning of the death or why it happened now, to you, to them, etc.

Over time you may also search for meaning of much bigger things. Life, existence, material things, superficial things, faith, even the meaning of bathing...seriously. It happens and it's ok.

As you question these things you may start to notice that things that once held such high regard no longer fit. This can include relationships.

Try to just observe and question without making rash decisions, especially in early grief. Be open to new opportunities and closures of old chapters.
