For many of us, Advent and Christmas are a mixture of the light of holiday joy and the darkness of loss, sadness, loneliness, or anger, as we grieve for the passing of loved ones or for other losses suffered during the year.
In addition to the Blue Christmas Service, St. Matthew’s offers a compilation of resources: citations for musical recordings, liturgies, and poems. The journey through grief is highly personal. This Resource Guide allows a reader to choose the medium and pace for that journey.
