My Favorite Resources for Coping with Holiday Stress

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate! While the holiday season is meant to bring joy and happiness to us all, I know it can also include sadness and overwhelm (among other uncomfortable experiences) when you’re coping with loss, grief, or other life challenges.

Even if you’re not the one who is stressed, you probably know someone who is struggling to cope with unwelcome change. It’s nice to know how to help them and what to say to them. 

Here are a few of my favorite resources that help me feel less alone and more able to manage stress and cope effectively at this time of year. I hope they’re useful for you too. Please let me know if any were especially meaningful to you, and feel free to share them with others.
