The holiday season can be a joyful time of joy and celebration, but we also have to keep in mind that this time of year can be very challenging for some people. Studies have shown that there is a slight death increase over the holiday season but it’s not necessary to be directly caused by the holiday itself.
Factors such as cold weather, flu season, and pre-existing health conditions can contribute to this rise. It’s very important to take care of yourself and your loved ones during this time, both physically and emotionally.
I interviewed Makenna Haskell and this is what she had to say,’’ I think this time of season we have to be very considerate over what people are going through. Make sure everyone is loved and if you’re sick it is best to stay home, so you don’t get your friends and family sick too.
Yes, this may be difficult for you or others but it is what is best and we always want a next year.’’ If you or someone you know is struggling, remember reaching out for support from your loved ones is always a good idea.
