 Get Me Through the Holidays: 

10 Strategies for Coping with Loss 

 Many people are filled with happy anticipation as the holidays approach. Thoughts of food and
being with family and friends abound. For those who have experienced a significant loss, this is
often not the case. Aware that their loved one will not be with them, the holiday season can
intensify feelings of sadness, isolation, and loss. It can be difficult to decide what to do.

This one-hour seminar helps people who are grieving the death of a loved one discover practical
and meaningful ways to cope during the holidays. Many of these coping strategies can be used
for other personal holidays, such as birthdays and anniversaries. In addition, those who want to
offer their support will discover tips for how to help someone who is grieving.
