Grief support for surviving the holidays

HONESDALE, PA — A free support group designed to help people cope with the grieving process particularly during the upcoming holiday season will be offered at Wayne Memorial Hospital. The six-week session will provide support and focus on grief as a normal part of an individual’s transition through life. The sessions will be held Monday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m. from November 25 through December 30 in the David Katz Conference Room on the second floor of Wayne Memorial Hospital, 601 Park St.

The support group will encourage participants to explore their own solutions to living without their loved ones. The group will provide a safe place in which individuals can sort out their feelings and share as they are able and willing. No one will be required to share.

The group is non-denominational. The facilitators say each participant’s experience would be enhanced by attending all sessions; however, it is understandable if someone cannot attend every one. Participants may enter or exit at any time.
