When you have lost someone you love to suicide, the holiday season can bring up many different feelings related to your grief. Make time to honour those feelings, don’t bottle them up.

When you have lost someone you love to suicide, it can be difficult and confusing to experience grief at the same time as wanting to embrace moments of joy during the holidays. It is okay to be present for joy while also respecting your loss.

When you have lost someone you love to suicide, practice self-compassion during the holidays to find a balance between grief & enjoyment. Forgive those around you who are well meaning in their efforts to cheer you up while being honest in setting limits that make sense for you.

On behalf of the Here4Hope Team may you find joy over the holidays and look forward with HOPE for what 2023 may bring.

If you are supporting someone who has lost a loved one to suicide, offer to get outside with them. Taking in the beauty of nature and being part of something bigger than ourselves is a way of healing our grieving hearts and finding hope.

If you have lost a loved one to suicide and are missing them during the holidays, try lighting a candle in remembrance or listen to music that you find comforting and bring back fond memories.

If you are grieving the loss of someone you love during the holidays, know that it is okay to honour traditions or customs that you shared with them or start a new tradition if that is what feels right. Part of healing is setting your own path in your grief journey.
