Grief through the Holidays Offered by Home Hospice of Grayson and Cooke Counties

Grief Support Group

Home Hospice of Grayson and Cooke Counties is pleased to announce a new four-week Support Group starting on November 27, 2018 in Whitesboro. This group will be specially focused on grief through the Holidays. Each week we will work through discussion topics such as facing extended family, creating new traditions and getting through “firsts.” The group will meet at the First Presbyterian Church, 200 N. Union Street, in Whitesboro.

The sessions will be held on Tuesday mornings from 10:00am – 11:30am November 27th, December 4th, 11th and 18th.

“Experiencing grief over the loss of a loved one is a normal part of life’s journey” said Kelly Lamkin, Home Hospice Social Worker. “However, it can become an overwhelming enemy that can be harmful physically and emotionally. There is no magic pill or quick fix for this grief, but sharing your journey with others who have experienced the loss of a loved one, can make it easier. Come and join us – you can attend all four support groups or just one if you choose.”

To register for the support group, please contact Nancy Jackson at 903-868-9315.
