Marlton, N.J.
– For most people, the holidays are a happy, festive time of year. But, if you are coping with the loss of a loved one this time of year, the season can be lonely, depressing and often difficult to handle.
Holidays or not, it is important for you to find a way to take care of yourself. The Samaritan Center for Grief Support, a member of the
Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice
