Handling the Holidays — Hope Hospice offers free online grief workshop

(Oct. 29, 2023) — For people who are processing the loss of a loved one, the winter holiday season can be painful. Experiencing grief at this time may intensify feelings of loneliness or anxiety about being asked how you are coping. You may feel disinclined to participate in holiday gatherings to avoid such questions, or because you feel lost without your loved one by your side.

Hope Hospice offers this one-hour workshop as a safe space to discuss the unique considerations of grieving during the winter holiday season. They also will talk about how to prepare for gatherings that you choose to attend, as well as spending time alone to honor the memory of your loved one privately.

Although this workshop is offered over Zoom, space is still limited due to the interactive nature of the presentation. There is no charge to attend. Choose from one of following dates; the program is the same. To register, call our Grief Support Department at (925) 829-8770 or submit an inquiry form here.
