As the days become shorter and darker our thoughts turn to Halloween, bonfire night, and Christmas. For some people it is a time of excitement, planning and buying appropriate things for each event. To others it is all too commercial and they would rather forget about it.
Loneliness can be hard to deal with in the winter months, especially when the weather is gloomy (as it has been on and off recently). I enjoy going to see my clients and helping them to get out and about – there is always somewhere dry we can go, like one of the garden centres, which come alive with Christmas decorations at this time of year. So even if we don’t buy anything it is cheerful to look at, and we can chat over a hot drink in the café.
I can also help clients get their shopping sorted, by taking them into town or to one of the local supermarkets, which in turn can take a weight off their mind that they have sorted things.
