Of course over time our grief has lessened, but in the early years, the holidays were exactly what you've described in this article. The expectations for the season are so high that it's hard not to feel as though you're letting everyone down if you don't feel filled with joy and wonderment. Thank you for this article. It serves as an excellent reminder to me to reach out to friends who have experienced loss this past year.... the first time around is usually the hardest. God Bless!
