Bereavement
It's about healing.
Bereavement counselors are available for 13 months after the death of your loved one for your support and guidance. You are encouraged to share your thoughts and ideas out loud to help you understand the meaning and effect of your loss. Talk about your painful feelings (anger, despair, etc) to help reduce their intensity. Reminisce about your loved one to help you remember the life and transition you shared together. Discuss all the changes you are going through in order to understand and transition to a new beginning.
Most people find the best support comes from those who have experienced a similar loss. A support group is an excellent place to find shared losses and experiences. Bereavement Counselors are also available for individual support and counseling, if needed.

HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Each November, Columbus Hospice sponsors
"Hope for the Holidays," a grief and loss program
for those in the community who have experienced
the death of a loved one, recently or years ago.
These workshops are small support groups that focus on grief education. Following a workbook, each week focuses on a different aspect of grief. There is no cost for the workshop or the book.
HEALING HEARTS WORKSHOPS
Workshops meet once a week for six weeks. They require pre-registration and the commitment to come for all six weeks. Most workshops will be held on Thursdays from 5:30-7:00PM; however, we sometimes hold daytime groups as well (as need arises).
If interested, please call and ask about the next scheduled workshop.
