Creating New Holiday Traditions When You're Grieving, Heartbeat Episode 216

The 2020 holidays are going to feel different, especially for people who are grieving the death of a loved one. The loss of someone you love along with changes due to the pandemic can make it necessary to create some new traditions.  You don’t have to let go of the rituals that you love, just find new ways to add meaning.  If you’re not able to travel, using tech tools like Facetime, Zoom, Google Meet, and Skype can make the distance seem smaller.  Even a three way call using your smartphone can bring people together.  Cook that favorite dish, play some games, and listen to music that brings joy to your holiday.  And don’t forget to treat yourself with compassion and kindness. Your grief journey isn’t forgotten.  The Heart of Hospice is always here to support you.  Visit theheartofhospice.com to find support and encouragement in your end of life journey, including self care, advance care planning, and hospice philosophy.  Send us an email at [email protected].  We’re happy to help - you are The Heart of Hospice.
