Coping With Grief During the Holidays

 

Every year my in-laws, the Gundersons, host the Gundy Undie Run. The premise is that friends and family who are brave enough run a race in the dark, cold night on Christmas Eve… wearing only their underwear. It’s a tradition that brings some fun and humor to the holidays. The holidays are supposed to be filled with joy and celebration, right?

Creating Healthy Goodbyes

Jonah Green and Associates has been honored to work with Jocelyn Smith, PhD, over these past two-plus years.  We already miss her terribly, even as we are so proud of her as she moves on to postdoctoral work.  Here we get some additional wisdom from Jocelyn us as she moves ahead with her career:

The month of August is often full of transition for families all across the country. New graduates spanning from Kindergarten to Graduate/Professional School are preparing to start new phases of their life journeys. I am one of them!

Yet, as the anticipated change approaches, we often take for granted the grief that can accompany transition. As preparations are made to facilitate a smooth start, it is also important to invest attention toward creating healthy separations from the people, places, and things that may be parted with in the process. Below are a few suggestions to help create a healthy goodbye:
