Grief and depression are hard enough to get through at any time of the year. Add the busy nature of the holidays, and that pain can be incredibly lonely to bear. In today’s podcast, Dr. Margaret gives tangible suggestions of both things to do, and recognitions to keep in mind, to help cope with either one or both of these emotional states. The difference between grief and depression is discussed, as well as practical suggestions on how to handle their various stages and cycles. Join Dr. Margaret today in her frank conversation about what you can do about the pain you feel, so that you can gather strength for the weeks to come.
