Vacation season is upon us once again and like many bereaved families, ours has yet to decide if we should make it a va-- or a stay-cation. Not only is our grief a factor, but so is our family economy.
As you consider your vacation plans, please be aware that communication with your other family members is more important than ever if you find yourself mourning the loss of a loved one at this time. The goals and expectations of each family member might be different. So, it is best to find out what they might be ahead of time to avoid possible conflicts during what should be a restful time.
Among the articles on the Healing Hearts web site is one about this subject with some great insights and suggestions. You can check it out at www.healingheart.net/articles/vacations.html
In the meantime...we hope that everyone has a chance to enjoy their July 4th holiday and finds some time to rest during this summer season.
