You may have been experiencing some difficult moments as Christmas draws near. We hope this helps you:
Judy Osborne, bereavement coordinator and a licensed social worker with Hendrick Hospice Care gives this advice for those who are grieving during the holiday season:
Get enough rest, and remember that sometimes people try to stay busy as a distraction. That isn't necessarily the most helpful response. Actually, that increases the stress and you just postpone the need to talk about it and deal with feelings of grief. Everyone grieves differently, but surrounding oneself with good, supportive people is never a wrong decision.

That being said, how much you talk to others about the person who has died is up to you. Try to do what brings you comfort and peace and put aside (for this year) that which is too difficult, too exhausting and too costly.

May we all try a little bit harder at this time of year to be more understanding.

The tree in the foyer of the funeral home is decorated with white doves of peace, a symbol of God’s love. The Christmas season can be very difficult for those who have lost a loved one. It is our hope that those in need feel comfort and peace today and in the days ahead.

I'm Spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this Year

I see the countless Christmas trees,
Around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars,
Reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear.
For I'm spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare,
With the Christmas choir up here.

For I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description,
To hear the angels sing.

I can't tell you of the splendor,
Or the peace here in this place.
Can you just imagine Christmas,
With our Savior, face to face?

I'll ask Him to light your spirit,
As I tell Him of your love.
So then pray one for another,
As I lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful,
And let your spirit sing.
For I'm spending Christmas in Heaven,
And I'm walking with the King.

An ecumenical memorial service will be held in memory of those who have died without a home. It will be held Thursday December 18 at 7 p.m. at St. John the Evangelist, 413 St. John Street in downtown Green Bay. All are welcome to attend.

Candles will be carried, and names will be read in remembrance – often the only commemoration these individuals receive. The service is a time of reflection, mourning, and renewed commitment to advocate for housing and healthcare access so that all may live with dignity.

Please reach out to those who are grieving during the holiday season. Let them know you care. A simple phone call, an email, a card or a small gift will let them know that their loved one is not forgotten and that you understand that their holiday season will be different this year. Mention the person who has died. Say their name. Be prepared that doing so may bring tears, but tears are part of healing. People who are grieving may want to share their stories, or they may not. You can never go wrong by offering to listen. Be supportive and understanding. Do not expect them to celebrate the holiday season the same way they have in the past. Let them know that their loved one is remembered.

Grieving people have many questions at this time of year, which usually involve the word “should”. Should I put up a tree this year? Should I send Christmas cards? Should I go to the same church service as we always did? Should I buy presents this year? Should I decorate my home in the same manner? Should I bake cookies and make candy like I always did?

In determining what to do if this is the first or second or third holiday season without your loved one, ask yourself the following question. Will doing so provide me with comfort and a sense of tradition and make me feel like my loved one is still with me in a sense, or will doing so cause me anxiety, hurt, pain or exhaustion.

If continuing your holiday traditions gives you comfort and a sense of warmth, then by all means, go ahead and do the things you enjoy doing. However, if you are grieving a significant loss, give yourself permission to skip the activities which will cause you to feel the loss more than you usually do. Excuse yourself from doing the things you don’t feel up to this year. Make a change this year. You may feel like doing more next holiday season, or you may want to change the way you celebrate the holidays and start new traditions.

You are the one who has the power to decide what is right for you and you don’t need to do what others feel you “should”.
