Help for Grieving Families

HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS A Community Hospice program for the bereaved The festive holiday season can be challenging for those experiencing the death of a loved one. They may find themselves torn between the need to grieve and pressure to get into the holiday spirit. Regardless of when the death took place, a loss can be felt more acutely at this time. Community Hospice of Northeast Florida invites you to attend Hope for the Holidays, a workshop created for family, friends and caregivers who have experienced the death of a loved one. The workshop will help attendees reflect on their loss, learn ways to cope with grief during the holiday season and to determine what is right for them and their families. They will learn how to refocus energy on positive activities that honor and remember their loved ones and will leave with a renewed sense of hope for the upcoming season. Hope for the Holidays is open to the public. There is no charge to attend, but attendees are requested to RSVP by calling 904.407.7001.
