CareNotes

For someone grieving the death of a loved one, Christmas can bring a mix of emotions. The celebrations and traditions of the season may feel especially difficult when someone you love is missing.

"Grieving at Christmastime" offers gentle, practical, hope-filled guidance for navigating the season while making room for the sadness and grief that may be present.

Because sometimes caring for someone means simply helping them know that what they’re feeling is OK, and that they don’t have to walk through it alone.

Sometimes, especially during the holidays, the most difficult part about reaching out to someone who is hurting is knowing what to say.

A CareNote gives you just the right words of comfort and encouragement. Paired with a handwritten note or Christmas CareCard, it’s a simple way to remind someone they are cared for and thought of during a season when they may need it most.

There is no “correct” way for a woman to react to a diagnosis of breast cancer. Shock, despair, depression, anger, and paralyzing fear are very normal reactions. Your life has just been turned upside down. You thought you were healthy and in control, and you found that you weren’t. It’s not uncommon to feel disoriented. You may curl up in a ball, or you may dive into a million-and-one-things you‘ve always wanted to do but had never taken the time for.

Despite the fear cancer evokes, it is important to remember that you have the power to take control of how you will live your life during treatment. Now is the time to gather support and mobilize energy for the struggle ahead, while giving your emotions full respect.
