Throughout history, we have seen many ways in which various cultures express grief. Some through a set number of days in which family members and/or friends wear black, having funeral processions with wailing and villages involved in walking the casket from the point of celebration to where a community member is laid to rest. But as the years passed on some societal norms became irrelevant and outdated, where nowadays it seems that people have a kerfuffle when trying to help console someone who has experienced loss or how to address grief. For yourself or for others. We as a society have forgotten how to mourn, how to help others express their grief, and how to show support towards a family or community who have experienced loss.
Whether it was the fact that the Holidays forced us to push our feelings aside in the effort to keep family members happy, cabin fever, or just the fact we’re missing out on some natural vitamin D, seasonal depression seems to take a toll on everybody in January.
With that in mind, we want to offer some thoughtful, intentional ways to help you (and us) combat those winter blues.
