For many people who have suffered bereavement or are struggling with depression, relationship problems or loneliness, this time of year can be exceptionally challenging
Watching others having fun, planning family gatherings and buying gifts and food for Christmas, can heighten feelings of loss and isolation.
It is important to be aware that not everyone will be in a celebratory mood and be sensitive to those who, for whatever reason, find the festive period tough going.
