This Christmas I'll be grieving. Here's how I'll be finding joy.
Briefly

Grief during the holidays reflects the profound sense of loss rather than a dislike for seasonal traditions, highlighting the absence of loved ones.
The experience of grief may transform joyful activities into moments of isolation, leading one to feel like a mere spectator during traditions once enjoyed.
The understanding that others also experience grief during the holidays can help bridge the feeling of isolation many individuals may feel.
Therapists suggest that facing grief requires acknowledging the feelings tied to the holiday with awareness of the person's absence, rather than the holiday itself.
