The holidays can be especially tough for those who are grieving a loss, but it’s important to remember that other times of the year can be hard, too. ⁠ ⁠ As others get back to their post-holiday routines, those who are struggling may feel support dwindle. You can do simple things to let a loved one know that you haven't forgotten about them.⁠ ⁠ Make a schedule for checking in—say, by sending a text message every few days—and hold yourself to it. Send a card if you see something that reminds you of your friendship. Leave a note on their door if you’re driving by their house. It doesn’t need to be big gestures to mean a lot 💙⁠ ⁠ 〰️⁠ ⁠ @OptionB’s #OptionBThere for the Holidays campaign is an initiative to help anyone struggling with loss and hardship this holiday season (yes, you!) feel less alone and to provide guidance on how to show up for loved ones who are struggling. For the rest of the year, we will be sharing relatable stories and tips for coping at @optionb, facebook.com/optionbcommunity, and optionb.org.⁠ ⁠ 〰️⁠ ⁠ #holidaygrief #griefsupport #grieftips #griefcommunity #griefrecovery #supportingothers
