Coping with Grief During the Holidays SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) — The holidays can be a time of great joy, but this is also a time when many people struggle with missing loved ones no longer here to share in the holiday cheer Rev. Ute Schmidt, manager of spiritual services and clinical pastoral education at Baystate, joined ABC40’s Tom Lewis and Emily Volz on ABC40 News at 12:30 p.m. to talk about the issue of coping and dealing with grief during the holidays. Schmidt explains that as the holidays approach, she explains that those who are trying to cope should “be true to their feelings and not to hide those.” She adds that people should “do what feels best”, not be tied to any particular conventions, and do what’s right for you and your family.
