Spouse Spouts-Episode 22: Mental Health and the Holidays Part 3

As we learned in our last show, the holidays can be a stressful time for so many. Sometimes it's finding the perfect present, or having the perfect holiday. For those of us who have lost a friend or family member, the holiday season can serve as a remind of what we have lost. On today's show we have guests from the Tragedy Assistace Program for Survivors or TAPS (http://www.taps.org/) and Give An Hour (https://www.giveanhour.org/) sharing ways we can honor the person we lost and still enjoy the holidays.
