Hospice Services to host free educational series on grief

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Hospice Services of Lake County is beginning another series of meetings to help adults who have experienced the death of a loved one, either recently or in the past.

Groups start on Jan. 23 and run eight weeks on Thursdays through March 13 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Recognizing there is not just a single way through grief, Hospice Services’ bereavement program will present “The Journey Through Grief,” a free, educational series. Groups will be held at Hospice Services of Lake County located at 1862 Parallel Drive in Lakeport.

Group sessions are structured with combined instruction and discussion in a safe environment, facilitated by trained bereavement counselors.

“In our world today, we are being challenged by losses of all kinds. In addition to these, many of us are trying to also navigate grief due to the death of a loved one,” said Bereavement Services Manager Kathleen Bradley. “In our groups, we companion and support each other as we attempt to find our footing and a new normal.”

Bradley said that during the weekly group sessions, education will be provided about grief, mourning and what is “normal,” as well as tools to use in healing.

Weekly topics are presented in a meaningful sequence, so attendance at all sessions is essential.

Examples of topics covered in groups include setting intentions to heal, dispelling misconceptions about grief, exploring personal feelings of loss, seeking resolution and self-care.

Hospice Services of Lake County provides high quality medical, emotional and spiritual care to help patients, and their families navigate their end-of-life journeys.

For more information, call Hospice Services of Lake County, 707-263-6222.
