The holiday season is meant to be a time of joy, of celebration, and of togetherness. But for many of us, it can also be a time of profound sadness, of grief, and of longing for those who are no longer with us. Coping with the death of a loved one during the holidays can be an overwhelming and isolating experience, as the world around us seems to be filled with happiness and cheer, while we are struggling to navigate our own feelings of loss and heartbreak.
