Living with the loss of a loved one is always hard. But at Christmas, when family and friends gather, grief can feel more acute. So what are the best ways to cope during the festive period?
We want to hear our readers’ experiences. Maybe you lost a partner a long time ago and still find this time of year hard. Or perhaps this is the first Christmas you’ll spend without a parent, friend or child. Share your stories with us and offer advice to those who might be going through something similar.
