The holidays can be especially difficult for anyone experiencing grief. Memories, traditions, and expectations can make this season feel heavy rather than joyful. Grief looks and feels different for everyone, and it can stay with us for a long time. There is no right or wrong way to feel.

Support is an important part of healing. There are various grief resources in our community, including Lightways Joliet (https://lightways.org/grief-support/) that offer services for children, adults, and families. Reaching out for help can make this season feel less isolating and more manageable.

Celebrate Safely This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time for joy, connection, and creating memories — let’s also make them a time for safety and responsibility. As families and friends gather, it’s important to be mindful of how alcohol is used around youth and to model healthy, safe choices.

Here are a few simple ways parents and guardians can help keep celebrations safe for everyone:
- Set clear expectations: Let kids know that even if adults are drinking, alcohol is still off-limits for anyone under 21.
- Communicate with other adults: Make sure friends and family know your rules and agree not to offer alcohol to your child.
- Keep kids’ drinks separate: If serving alcohol, keep it in a designated area and clearly separate it from youth-friendly beverages.
- Know your child’s plans: Be aware of where your child is going and who they’re spending time with — especially during busy holiday weekends.
- Be a positive example: Show young people that celebrations don’t need alcohol. Offer festive alcohol-free drinks and fun activities that everyone can enjoy.

Let’s work together to make the season bright, safe, and memorable for all.
