Local agencies offer ideas to counteract the holiday blues
The holidays are hard for Kathy Siebrasse.
Her son, Mike, committed suicide in 2001. In February 2009, her husband, Chuck, lost his battle with cancer. In 2010, she lost her father to Alzheimer’s disease.
“The holidays will never be the same for me, but I have found ways to honor and remember all of them that help,” Siebrasse said in an email. “Suicide Prevention Services lights luminaria at the holidays in front of its Batavia office, and I donate to that in order to have Mike remembered and Chuck honored.”
