Dealing with the complex relationships in a family facing grief can be challenging. Facing loss during the holidays often is very difficult. The additional stress may have an impact emotionally, cognitively, and physically, and it is important for professionals to help grieving people be prepared for these feelings.The Hospice Foundation of America will offer a webinar offering advice and practical assistance for helping grieving persons during the holidays. Some may be grieving a death, while others may be anticipating the impending death of a loved one, knowing the holidays are approaching. And while this is the “season” of important holidays for many, holidays occur throughout the year that can generate grief such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, or summer holidays that were reserved for special family reunions.
In this program for professionals and consumers, Dr. Ken Doka and Dr. Sherry Schachter will discuss:
- How bereavement professionals and other providers can help grieving families think ahead about how their holidays may be different and difficult, and help them plan to cope more effectively
- Give three principles to help grieving people cope with the holidays
- Note two things to avoid as one faces the holidays
- Offer strategies to help grieving children during the holidays
- Describe programs and rituals that organizations can use to assist grieving families during the holiday season
