Plan Ahead to Help Your Older Loved Ones Avoid Depression This Holiday Season
November 21, 2020
The holidays can be a tough time for many older adults.
Media and other societal messages touting family gatherings and the joyousness of the season often trigger or intensify feelings of loneliness and grief. They also can be a stark reminder of lost loved ones, the inability to be with family and friends and displaced traditions.
Add to those typical stressors the unprecedented undercurrent of COVID-19 and a perfect storm may well be brewing for the 2020 holiday season, putting millions of older Americans at risk for detachment, depression and failing health.
