For some, the thoughts of the holidays are filled with excited anticipation, happiness, and fond memories of holidays past. For others, the holidays may bring to the forefront a sense of anxiety, sadness, loss, disappointment, or even dread. Amidst the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to forget that for some the holidays are bittersweet – and sometimes downright painful. Some feel lonely or ill or face a daunting challenge. Others mourn the death of a parent, a child, or a beloved friend. Still others grieve lost relationships, lament over hopes deferred, or feel discouraged by dreams never realized.
