Hope in the Holiday Season for Those Grieving

The holiday season is often a time of joy and celebration, but for those who

have lost a loved one, it can be a season filled with deep sadness and

longing.


The absence of someone special can be especially painful during the first

holiday without them, or even years later when the season marks the

anniversary of their passing.


Sarah lost her mother last December, just days before Christmas. As this

year’s holiday season approached, she felt a wave of sorrow wash over her,

remembering the joy they once shared and dreading the emptiness she now

felt. Despite her faith, she found it difficult to embrace the holidays with the

same spirit she used to have.


One day, Sarah decided to reach out to a counselor who specializes in grief

and loss. During their sessions, her counselor shared several strategies to

help her navigate this challenging time.


As Sarah followed those strategies she began to experience small victories.

Looking back, Sarah saw how far she had come. While the grief remained, it

no longer consumed her. She had learned to live with her loss in a way that

honored her mother and allowed her to move forward. The holidays would

never be the same, but through the wisdom of her counselor and the grace of

God, she had found a way to experience joy amidst the sorrow.


Just like Sarah, you may be navigating your own grief during this season.


Each week during this holiday season we’ll walk through the strategies,

offering practical guidance and spiritual encouragement to help you find peace

and strength that can carry you through not just this holiday season, but every

season to come.


You are not alone in your grief. Together we will find the hope and healing that

God promises.
