Paula Petersen talked to the club at the December 9 meeting about people who are grieving during the holidays when it is a time of expectation of happiness.  Paula stressed it it is a time to be kind to yourself, get plenty of rest, and give back to others.
 
 
Paula directed our club how to make ornaments for the tree. She said it is OK to allow your feelings to surface if you are grieving a loss.  If you are suffering, let family and friends know it.  It is helpful to add a new holiday tradition, such as decorating a ball for the tree.
