Holidays=Sad Residents,What would you say

Published

At our LTC many of our residents are so sad this time of year. I had one the other night in tears because her family was running around preparing for Christmas and she couldn't be with them. I tried my best to comfort her, listen, and help her through it, but I still felt really inadequate when it came right down to it. What do you say to your residents?
