Things may be different this year but the opportunity to pause and reflect on the loved ones we have lost seems as important as ever.
Are you, a family member or someone that you know experiencing grief this holiday season?
“The reality is that we don’t forget, move on, and have closure, but rather we honour, we remember, and incorporate our deceased children, siblings, parents and partners into our lives in a new way. In fact, keeping memories of your loved one alive in your mind and heart is an important part of your healing journey.”
-Harriet Schiff, author of The Bereaved Parent
