Finally, I know that the holidays can be a time of additional stress for many people. In fact, last year at this time, my family suffered the loss of someone in my husband's extended family who had been experiencing symptoms of depression for quite some time that had gone untreated. This individual had a successful professional practice, a beautiful, healthy family and was greatly admired in the community - and the pain from the loss of this individual remains with many to this day. If you think you could use some help getting through the holiday season or need help with other personal issues, please do not hesitate to contact Cecie Hartigan with the New Hampshire Lawyers' Assistance Program (NHLAP) or get in touch with someone else who can help. The mission of our association and the NHLAP is to support members of the bar and there is no need to suffer in silence.
