The holidays are a time to celebrate the magic of the season with family and friends. Yet for many individuals, the first Christmas following the death of a loved one may be both traumatic and difficult. Nothing seems the same, and it’s as if Christmas has lost its joy.

If you are facing your first Christmas holiday without a loved one, you are not alone. Psychotherapist Mary Jo Rapini shares five tips to help those in mourning cope with their grief and offers reassurance that the memories of their loved one will live on.

1. Don’t force Christmas to be the same. Trying to uphold old traditions without your loved one may backfire and cause additional stress and sadness. Put some traditions on hold the first year and consider trying something new.

2. Give others space to grieve the loss of your loved one. You may have lost a spouse, a dad, or a mom, but it’s important to remember that each member of your family has also lost someone important to them. Each person will grieve in a different way.

3. Be patient with yourself. Slow down and don’t rush through the day. It’s also important to allow yourself to cry and feel the loss. There is no timeline that says you need to grieve and let go by a specific date.

4. Give yourself permission to enjoy Christmas Day. It’s easy to think that we shouldn’t be happy or enjoy the holidays after our loss, but nothing could be further from the truth. Your loved one would want you to be happy. Appreciate the moments of joy while accepting it may never feel as it did when your loved one was alive.

5. Take each moment of Christmas Day as it comes. Grief is difficult and it comes in waves. You may feel lighthearted one moment and sad the next. This is a healthy sign that your love was deep. Feeling the depth of your loss without denying your emotions can help you move forward in a positive manner.

From all of us at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, we wish you a peaceful and comforting holiday season. Contact us at (602) 840-5600.

“Grief hurts. There’s no magical solution to just 'get over' grief. And yet, we’re more resilient than we ever imagined. In time and with help - even after the most devastating losses, we grow around our wounds and we can experience the sweetness of peace, and remember with more love than pain.”
