Grief and Loss During the Holiday Season

Grief is an evolving process and oftentimes the feelings associated with loss seem to be out of our control. The holiday season for many who have experienced a loss can be challenging when there is so much joy around you and you are feeling the conflicting emotions.

The BC Bereavement Helpline (BCBH) has created a Grief and Loss During the Holidays resource that provides some helpful tips to help get through this potentially painful period of time.

The BCBH provides compassionate listening and referrals to community organizations that can help you cope with your feelings of grief and loss. If you simply need someone to talk to, please call:
