he holiday season can be a time of joy and togetherness, but for those who have lost a loved one, it may also bring waves of sadness and longing. Once the festivities end, feelings of grief can linger or even intensify.

At Hospice of the Northwest, we want you to know that it’s okay to feel this way—and you don’t have to face these feelings alone. We’re here to support you with compassion and understanding.
