VALLEY BAPTIST CHAPLAINS OFFER MORE

SUGGESTIONS FOR COPING WITH HOLIDAYS --- WHILE GRIEVING LOSS

OF A LOVED ONE

HARLINGEN -- Grief is diffi cult any time of the year, but the holidays can be especially painful for some people. Listed below are some more sugges-tions, from the chaplains at Valley Baptist Health System, which you may fi nd helpful in coping with the holidays without your loved one.

• Seek out the professional support from a pastor / priest or other counselor if necessary.

• Do not give in to accommodate others if you are not feeling up to it.

• Do something special for yourself.

• Tap into your spiritual resources.

• Accept the gift of peace. Remember this about peace … “It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work; it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart” (Unknown author).

Please also keep in mind that Valley Baptist Health System has free Bereavement Support Groups for those who have lost a loved one. For more information, call Valley Baptist’s Pasto-ral Services Dept. at (956) 389-1194.

Hello my name is Dia-mond really is a unique little treasure. This young lady has beautiful cream colored fur with patches ranging in color from apri-cot to mocha. At only six pounds, she may grow a bit more in size.

Hello my name is Sonny & Cher and we are an adorable brother/sister duo that you just can’t help but love. At about four months old, these pups are real sweeties. They just can’t help but wiggle their tails and entire bodies whenever anyone shows them the love.
