Special days often involve rituals of joy and celebration. After a death, individuals wonder how to "get through" all the firsts – birthday, seasonal holidays, anniversary, etc. How can grief and joy co-exist? Often the anticipation is more difficult than the actual event. This presentation offers suggestions for coping with special days.

Living With Loss: Coping with Grief During the Holidays

The University's Living with Loss Series is a resource for grieving students and others who have experienced a loss. Student support group meetings are held on campus to present information about the grief process, provide an opportunity to discuss concerns, and offer additional resources. The informational component of each group meeting is taped in advance to provide greater access for all who may find it helpful. Living with Loss is available in two formats - video or audio only. Both versions can be viewed on either a computer or a handheld player such as an iPod.
