Coping with Loss

The holidays can be particularly difficult for those grieving the loss of a loved one. 🎗️ If you’re navigating grief during this time, allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling. Healing is a journey, not a timeline.
💖 Tip: Give yourself permission to celebrate in ways that feel meaningful to you, even if it looks different than before.
You’re not alone in your grief.

“I grew up in a white house surrounded by a picket fence with my perfect family, or so it seemed. But at four I knew the difference between drinking and not drinking; between the fist-swinging father and the easy-going one. I hid during his drunken rage, but my mother reacted for days, even weeks after his drinking bouts. Her anger and resentment touched all of us… I left home early, married, and had three children. I promised never to raise my children as I was raised, yet all too soon I saw the alcoholic patterns in my marriage… I joined Al-Anon. I hoped to divorce and to start a new life, but my first Al-Anon meeting created a new awareness: alcoholism is a disease.”

“Al-Anon Sharings from Adult Children,” p. 6

Is there a history of alcoholism in your family? Maybe Al-Anon can help.
