Holiday season is upon us and for many families that means family traditions! In our home, we get take out on Christmas Eve and eat way too many cookies.
When you are living with a brain tumor in your family, holidays can be a challenge. All the excitement, events, and activities can leave fatigued survivors and caregivers flat out exhausted. Similarly, it can be hard when you cannot participate in all the activities in the way that you used to. If you have lost a loved one, the holidays can be sad and feel lonely. This week we are talking about the holidays.
What did you do differently the first holiday after you or your loved one was diagnosed? What traditions have become important to you at the holiday season?
