The holiday season is a time of celebration and festivity, and while stress can also accompany holiday gatherings and events, for some lengthy period can be much more difficult. Sarah Chatfield is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Athens. She spoke with us about coping with grief during the holidays. She says when grief is involved, holiday festivities can make the pain worse.
Chatfield says those who are grieving should take care to limit their exposure to holiday promotions, which can be difficult to avoid.
