She visited Eye on NE Kansas with a few tips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Glass said grief is a nomal experience during events, like the holidays, that come with traditions and social expectations. She said it\u2019s important to acknowledge your feelings and set boundaries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Reasons for grief and what\u2019s viewed as a loss can take many forms. Glass said the emotions don\u2019t just arise from the death of a loved one.
