If you are grieving the loss of someone as we approach the holiday season, I have found two books that might be of some help. I have not yet read them, but the Amazon.com reviews on these are excellent.

The first is “Healing Your Holiday Grief: 100 Practical Ideas for Blending Mourning and Celebration During the Holiday Season” by Alan D. Wolfelt. The second is “Surviving Holidays, Birthday & Anniversaries: A Guide for Grieving During Special Occasions” by Brook Noel.
