Seniors may dread celebrating the holiday season without their spouses or lifelong companions. They may be suffering through a season that is supposed to be filled with cheer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">In addition, festive activities may produce additional grief for seniors. Traditions like holiday shopping, decorating, and social gatherings may increase sadness and loneliness. The following is a list of tips for seniors coping with loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Six Tips to Employ with Seniors Coping with Loss:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #1. Time:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">First, allow brokenhearted adults time to heal without feeling pressured to participate in events if they\u2019re not ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #2. Social Gatherings:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Sad feelings, grief, and loneliness may be worsened during the holidays. Remind the older adult that this is normal and that gatherings and activities that were meant to be joyful may bring up sorrowful feelings instead. It may be helpful for the aging adult to remember and accept these emotions as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #3. Support System:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Figure out which holiday traditions are the most challenging for your aging friend or relative, then connect with his or her social circle or family in advance so they can be more supportive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #4. Diet:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">People who are grieving still need to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. It can help!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #5. New Traditions:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Commemorating a loved one by donating to a charity or volunteering at a non-profit organization can help. New holiday traditions can be created.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #6. Help:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Reaffirm to your loved one that asking for help and even expecting it is alright. Perhaps there are helpful friends, family, neighbours, and other support in the community that may have been forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-28.png\" alt=\"A senior woman with her head rested in her hand | Coping With Loss: How to Help Edmonton's Seniors | Comfort Keepers Edmonton\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-28.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-28-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-28-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-28-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
