Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Mu***os) is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2. It is a time for celebrating death and life where mourning is exchanged for celebration.

This two-day holiday reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (offerings) to honour their departed family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed and the favourite foods and drinks of the one being honoured. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations!

Choose what works for you. Read more: https://bit.ly/3HtWCYC

Others often have a notion that our loss & grief is just a temporary bump in the road without considering that we have lost someone we love who is never coming back. It's something we LIVE with, not something we GET OVER. 💔😢💔

Besides the holidays, December brings with it the shortest and darkest day of the year.

Grieving in winter is no easy thing and for those of us who live in the cold and snowy parts of the country. You may find you're dreading the increased isolation winter weather brings. I've heard so many grievers tell me how especially hard their loss can be to handle on cold, grey days.

Could looking at winter in a new light help, even just a little? Read this week's blog for a new perspective and some ideas to cope, link in comments...
