For many people, the approaching Christmas holiday does not bring with it the joy and happiness that is advertised on television or in greeting cards.&nbsp;These people may be facing a holiday after the death of a loved one or after a divorce.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re mourning a loss this Christmas, the holiday glam and seasonal lights can make you feel terrible.&nbsp;Many people will begin their plans for the holiday this year without someone who has been a part of their holiday memories for most, if not all, of their lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We all find different ways of coping. Some of us grieve at Christmas by keeping extremely busy, so we have less time to think. Others grieve by withdrawing or even getting away for a while. Whatever the grief process is, we must accept it. Only the individual themselves know what they need to do to \u201cget through\u201d the holidays.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Very Reverend Trula Hollywood will provide a service on the longest night of the year, Dec. 21, as a \u201cSpace to Bring our Sadness to God\u201d. The service will take place at 5:30 p.m. at St. Paul\u2019s Episcopal Church, located at 117 Main St. in Owego. The service will include candle lighting as a Litany of Remembrance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>St. Paul\u2019s will also have a Christmas Eve service at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. with Christmas Lessons and Carols, and then a simple Christmas day service at 10 a.m.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For more information on services, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stpaulsowego.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.stpaulsowego.org<\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The season of Advent and Christmas is meant to be full of anticipation, hope, and joy.&nbsp;The familiar church services lead us through the season in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":91919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-93934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-whats-happening"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
