More Helpful Hints For Surviving The Holidays While Grieving By Sandra Brown Neahusan
Venice, Florida (PRWEB) November 05, 2014 -- After the loss of a loved one people experience birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays without them. These can be very rough times for those in grief recovery. Memories flood at every level. In her book, "How Could I Wish You Back From Heaven?" Sandra Brown Neahusan offers these helpful suggestions to help:
1. Past holidays cannot be duplicated. Start a new tradition. If holidays were spent at the loved ones home, ask another relative or friend to host the celebration.
2. Simplify the meal the first year. Emotions are already on edge. Keep things simple and do not make more stress for yourself.
3. Learn to shop online. There is still the joy in giving gifts, but no rushing through crowds or pressure to get to the store before the sale price ends.
4. Accept that people may be uncomfortable with emotions. Perhaps it will be a learning experience for them to see that grieving is a natural and accepted personal and social situation.
5. Be a help to others. Serve a meal at a shelter, pack holiday packages for shut-ins or military families.
6. Take care of your health. Eat correctly, exercise and get enough sleep.
