Showing love to everyone in our community, no matter who they are, can make a big difference. For Keya, meeting a woman who wanted to pray for her made her feel cared for and supported. That act of kindness meant so much to her. Being generous to the people around us—whether they’re friends, family, or strangers—can help break down stigma and create real change.

Georgia Recovers Community Impact Committee (CIC) members, Keya and Jimbo, share tips that have helped them cope with grief and loss during the holidays.

1. Practice self-care when grieving. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and enough sleep can help strengthen you emotionally.

2. Lean on your support system. Don't underestimate the power of connecting for support. Whatever and wherever that looks like for you, it will be the strength you need to share experiences and feel understood.

3. Build on family traditions. Honoring cherished traditions of loved ones that have passed while creating new ones with family allows you to celebrate their memory. It is an opportunity to make peace with the happy and bittersweet memories.
