Holidays are stressful even without grieving. Important to understand that is what you are feeling, allow yourself to feel it and grieve, and let others help as much as you are able.

My friend lost her 19yo daughter to a rare liver disease 7 years ago. Holidays and her birthday are hard as well as the day she died. It took another friend 20 years before she could talk about her son without crying. Be good to yourself and don’t expect to much. Surround yourself with people who care. My friend and I reminisce about Hannah frequently and talk about the good times.
My BF cleaned his apartment this past weekend! He even swept and washed the floors, AND emptied the bathroom trash can. It seems only when the mice start to take over because of all the dropped crumbs and goodies that get left behind from his messy cooking that it finally spurs him into taking action. The other day he found what used to be a perfectly good pair of his underwear had a bunch of holes chewed through them - out comes the mouse traps and some cleaning commences.
I guess we all have our limits!
