Thoughts for the Holidays

Thoughts for the Holidays provides help to those in grief during the holiday season.

The holidays are difficult for anyone on the grief journey. The candles are lit, the houses are decorated and the grieving person struggles to find any joy in the celebrations. Doug gives the reader permission to find their own special way to cope, to remember and to survive the hurdles that the holiday season can present.
