Celebrations and occasions like Christmas and Hanukkah can evoke a range of emotions.

With memories of past celebrations and anticipations of this year's gatherings, navigating grief at this time of year can be difficult. Even if you don't mark these events, we're all surrounded by reminders- from adverts and social media posts to shop displays.

It’s important to look after yourself and work out the best ways to cope.

On our website, we've shared some tips on coping with grief over the festive season ⬇️
