• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

The holidays can be a challenging time for caregivers, families and the grieving that can come especially hard this time of the year. Loss of family members, children, parents, siblings, etc. through either natural or unexpected losses.

Caring for an aging parent or a handicapped family member can make planning a get together difficult for family members and friends. Particularly with aging parents who have developed dementia or Alzheimers. Where to find help for care while feeling that loss of them not being able to be with or not being able to relax because of wandering and confusion.

So many reasons we may have anniversary issues at the holidays, and remembering what they used to be like compared to now.

Can you relate to this at all in your life?
How do you manage these fall holidays to provide both leisure and care?
Grieving the loss of a loved one, how do these holidays impact you and how are you coping?
