Our Tip of the Week: For those wanting to express  bereavement from the loss of a loved one, the holidays can be a particularly difficult time to get through. Creating an ornament that can help you cherish and visualize your love for someone can be a comforting activity.

How-to Suggestion: You can buy clear empty ornaments at local craft stores (glass or plastic). Find small photos, lines of a favorite poem or other memorable items to fill the ornament. Keep in mind that the ornament, while particularly fitting for a Christmas tree, is not reserved for Christmas or even the holiday season: hang this reminder of your loved one all year-round to help you feel supported during grieving.
