DeKALB – The holiday season is often called “the most wonderful time of the year,” yet for many people the holiday season is a difficult time marked by stress and loneliness.

Broken relationships, ill health, unemployment, the loss of a loved one – all of these can leave people feeling “blue” in the midst of a society which seems focused on being happy and celebrating.

It is at such times that it is helpful to acknowledge sadness and concern and know that you are not alone.
