Best Wishes for the Holiday Season from the MGH Center for Women’s Mental Health
The holiday season is a time to sit back and take stock of the past year. We get to be with family, with friends, and, if we’re lucky, to take a bit of a break. However, the last year has been tough for so many. TThis is again a holiday season without precedent. On the one hand, it seems as if many people are for the first time since the pandemic expanding their holiday celebrations. On the other hand, many people continue to play it safe, attempting to avoid not only CoVID, but the flu and RSV. For the vast majority of us, the holidays have looked very different over the last few years.
While there are plenty of opportunities to feel connected, joyful, and thankful, this time of year also brings pressures, expectations, conflict, disappointment, loneliness, and even grief.
