HOSPICE OFFERS BEREAVEMENT PROGRAM

          The Hospice Program of Foothills Visiting Nurse & Home Care, Inc. will offer a six-week bereavement support group, “THE PATH THROUGH GRIEF,” which will meet at the agency on Tuesday evenings from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. beginning March 26, 2019 at 32 Union Street, Winsted, CT.

          The sessions are open to any adult who has experienced the loss recently – within the past year or two.  The support group, which will be facilitated by Martha Babbitt, Hospice Volunteer and Bereavement Coordinator, is designed to help a person understand the grieving process and cope with their own personal loss.  It provides an opportunity to share experiences and ways of dealing with grief as well as a time to receive support from others who understand what it is like to lose a loved one.  Some of the topics to be covered will include:  An Overview of the Grieving Process; Healing the Pain; Taking Care of Yourself; Change and Growth; Looking to the Future.

          There is no charge for the sessions but pre-registration is necessary.  Please call Martha Babbitt at 379-8561 for more information or to register.
