Holidays serve as a point of reference.
It is difficult if not impossible to pass through the holidays without some sort of review of our lives. Such reviews are often comforting, but they also unavoidably remind us of chronically endured pain. While we may wish that the holidays were a time of unadulterated celebration, we often find our coping mechanisms tested to the highest degree. Share in the experience of our authors, and let their words of advice and related experience help you cope with whatever comes up in your life as you celebrate Thanksgiving. The first holiday season without a loved one can fill a person with dread as the actual holiday comes closer and closer.
