Treasure Coast Hospice Offers Guidance for Coping with the Holidays The holidays often present a special challenge for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Drawing on its experience of helping people through the grief process, Treasure Coast Hospice will hold interactive Coping with the Holidays workshops for the community on Friday, November 15, 3 p.m., at the Mayes Center, 1201 SE Indian Street, Stuart and Thursday, December 12, 3 p.m., at the Thomas Counseling Center, 5000 Dunn Road, Ft. Pierce.
Workshop participants will gain insight and greater understanding about the grieving process, discover steps for surviving the holidays and learn how to find new meaning for the season.
“The holidays may present challenges for some, but we work to help you identify some coping mechanisms," said Jacki Nardone, Director of Grief Support and Pediatric Services. “Our workshops highlight the importance of caring for yourself while providing those who are grieving with tangible ways to find comfort in fond memories and renewed meaning in the season.”
The holiday season is often filled with special traditions that give life meaning and comfort. Coping with the Holidays will offer participants an opportunity to reflect and discuss rituals that are important to carry on as well as how new traditions can help bring comfort and even honor or remember loved ones who have died.
All members of the community are invited to attend the Coping with the Holidays workshops. To register, please call 772-403-4530.
