Around the holidays, a lot of the community is feeling joy and happiness as Christmas is almost here, but for Jack Martin, Director of the Dusckas-Martin Funeral Home, he sees people who are grieving and mourning.

Martin said if you are feeling down about going to a Christmas-related event, still go, but have a plan ahead of time.

He also said to not be afraid to try new traditions, while always remembering the person that has passed.

Other ways you can remember your loved one is by documenting memories and even making memory boards, he said.
