It’s well known the holiday season can be difficult for grievers. As this cartoon suggests, whether you’re a stranger, family or friend, try reaching out to someone you know is grieving. It’s likely you both know grief and could both use support befriending grief within yourselves. In this way, grievers are not quite so alone.
