Giving Meaning To The Holidays

Part of the divorce process is learning how to readjust. While you may find yourself feeling confident in your day-to-day life, when the first holiday season after divorce rolls around, you might find yourself feeling a little lost. Know that this is a common experience for many individuals and that you are not alone.

However, there are things that you can do to bring meaning to your holiday season.

Find A Sense Of Community

After a divorce, you may find more time on your hands during the holidays. If you and your spouse had children, they will likely spend part of their time with your fellow co-parent. This is an opportunity to involve yourself in activities that bring more meaning to your holidays. For example, you can get involved in a church community. Many churches have “Separated and Divorced Ministries” that are very sensitive to people in your exact situation during the holidays.

Give Back To Others

Directing your attention to others is another way to help you cope during the holidays. Although it is important to do things that make you happy, helping others can also improve your season outlook. Research local initiatives in your community and see how you can become involved. Volunteering or donating to these initiatives can give you the purpose you need during this time of the year.

Make It A Family Tradition

Giving back to others can become a new tradition for you and your family during the holiday season. Involving your children in these activities can teach them the importance of giving back to their community. Ask your children how they would like to be involved, allowing them to get invested in this process.
