Is it ok...

to skip the holidays? Be gentle on yourself. Feel free to skip parts of your holiday tradition this year if you are not feeling up to it. If sending Christmas cards is too painful right now, don't. Come to events late and leave early if you need to.

Holiday Memorials

Remember your loved one during the holidays with a special memorial or event. Memorial suggestions: Light a candle at the table, put a special ornament on the tree, or donate a favorite book to your local library.
