Christmas can be a particularly painful time for those dealing with the loss of a loved one. The season floods us with memories and increases the sense of loss as we see those around us celebrate time with each other. The Hospice Hub has two events coming up to help those in grief, whether their loss was recent or from years back. Patti Koeslag with the Hospice Hub tells us what they are.
There will be plenty of support at both these events from bereavement volunteers as Patti notes
The benefits in attending sessions like these can’t be overstated, especially considering the amount of isolation that grief can bring according to Patti
The evening in Perth will be held on Monday December 15th at the Perthshire Clubhouse at 27 Lally Lane and in Smiths Falls it happens on Tuesday, the 16th at the Westminster Presbyterian Church at 11 Church Street West. Both sessions run from 6:30 to 8:00 pm.
Preregistration is recommended by emailing to bereavement@thehospicehub.ca. However drop-ins are welcome.
