“Grieving is a long and difficult process,” Melissa Rogers, LCFH bereavement counselor, said. “In addition to understanding how stress can take a toll on a person physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we need to understand practical guidelines to ease the process. This workshop will focus on strategies those grieving can use to help maintain healthy momentum as they proceed through grief.”

Many have loved and lost special people in their lives and coping with grief is a challenging process. If you and/or your friends and family are having difficulty dealing with the loss of a loved one, LCFH is here to help.

Grief workshops will be offered the second Tuesday of each month through December at Angel House Hospice Care Center. Each will focus on a specific aspect of grief and the grieving process.

Throughout the year, LCFH offers compassionate care, educational, and enrichment opportunities that support many types of loss in safe and familiar environments. Grief counseling services are available to LCFH patients’ families, as well as others in the community.
