The holidays can be a tough time to deal with depression, or the loss of a loved one. Pella Regional suggests having a personal holiday plan. This could include deciding what traditions are important to observe, and what other may be too hard to participate in. Reaching out to someone you know is also grieving during the holidays to offer support is often rewarding for both parties, or planning a special event to look forward to, after the holidays can help you look forward instead of into the past.
