If you’re like me, the holidays can be a rough time of year.
Personally, the trauma that I went through happened primarily over the holiday season. I’ve got years of experience of “trying to get through” November and December. Fortunately, I have a much easier time now, with the passage of time and years of work.
I have been writing professionally for two decades. In this trauma and grief holiday roundup, I’ve included articles that I’ve written over the years that reflect where I was and what helped me at the time.
I will be adding to this roundup from now until FOREVER! Bookmark this page and visit to see what’s new!
