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.
