"Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim." Vicki Harrison Photo Courtesy Pexels.com: @kate.loves.steve In 2019, I wrote these "Grief Tips for the Holidays" while working for a Hospice Agency as their Bereavement Coordinator. The tips are a culmination of my previous work in Hospice as a Medical Social Worker and Bereavement Counselor. There the clients I served shared and taught me much about losing a spouse/partner, sibling, children (all ages) and close family and friends. The tips also incorporate what I learned through my own losses. It's hard to believe that 2022 is just around the corner and we are still reeling from the effects of COVID-19. On top of the expected and unexpected deaths we face every year, we also lost many more loved ones as a result of this pandemic. May these tips be helpfu
