Coping with Grief and the Holidays

Ordinarily, we think of the holidays as a time of joy, sparkle and celebrations. But when one is coping with grief, holidays may be out of the ordinary. Our featured speaker is Kim Calhoun, Bereavement Facilitator from Mercy Health Hospice of the Valley by Compassus, who will explain the importance of understanding grief and how to cope with anxiety, sadness, and emptiness during the holidays. This program is open to anyone who has experienced a loss. Literature on grief, the company of supportive others, and information about the grieving process will be provided.
