As I addressed my Christmas cards this year, it shocked me to realize how many significant losses occurred in 2021. Two of my friends lost their husbands last spring. Another is facing the first Christmas without her mom. One friend lost a sister, and another lost her brother. And my cousin’s daughter died last month. For these people, Christmas won’t feel all merry and bright.
I know some of your residents experienced losses over the past year, too. And perhaps you have a friend living in a nursing home who is also grieving a loss. That’s why I put together a list of ways we can support people through this difficult time. Keep in mind that everyone grieves differently, and what is comforting for one person might not be for another.
