Gainesville, TX – March 23, 2017

Home Hospice of Grayson, Cooke & Fannin Counties is excited to announce the return of The Journey Through Grief bereavement support group starting on April 6, 2017. The group will be held on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:30pm for six weeks. Each week Kelly Lamkin will lead the group in discussing topics such as “surviving the fog” and “finding the new normal”. The group will meet at the Landmark Bank Conference Room at 1112 E California St, Gainesville, TX 76240.

Sessions will be held Thursday, April 6, 13, 20 & 27 and May 4, 11. The group will meet to help each other navigate through grief issues plus provide support in a safe and understanding environment. “I am so glad I came – it has helped me in ways I would never have imagined” said group member Susan Ripley.

“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 six support groups or just one if you choose.”

To register for the support group, please contact Paula Britain at 940-665-9891. If you’d like information on individual counseling, please contact Kelly Lamkin at 940-665-9891.

The Northeast Texas Children’s Museum will welcome area Bridge players to “Friendship Bridge” on Monday, April 10 at 1:30.   The event is the longest running fund-raising event for the Children’s Museum. “We have watched friendships grow each year around the Bridge table, “said Nancy McFarland, co-chair of the event. “We enjoy seeing returning friends and welcoming new participants each year.”

The event provides a relaxing environment for the players. Groups may rotate to other tables or stay together throughout the afternoon.“We will have a table for beginning Bridge players. Sometimes when individuals have not had the opportunity to play in the last year, they enjoy being with other players of the same level,” said Toni Deaton, the other co-chair.

The afternoon will include Bridge, dessert, and cash prizes for winners of high, second high, and low.  There will also be drawings for other prizes. Tickets are $25 a person and can be purchased at the Children’s Museum or by credit card by calling the Children’s Museum at 903-886-6055.
