Hospice of Hilo is offering a free, six-week adult grief support group called “The Healing Journey” from 10-11:30 a.m. Sept. 6 through Oct. 11.
The group is open to anyone in the community who has suffered a loss. Meetings will be at Hospice of Hilo’s office complex located at 1011 Waianuenue Ave.
“Participants are comforted by the validation of their grief and the knowledge that they are not alone.” said Hospice of Hilo community bereavement counselor and group leader Cathy Hough. “To light memorial candles for their loved ones, write in journals and to learn about the ways that grief ‘shows up’ empowers them to take charge and navigate their personal journey of loss.”
“Healing Journey” attendees have commented that the group was very helpful to them, finding it to have a kind and loving atmosphere in which to share their grief.
“I use the coping mechanisms provided to this day because my grief journey is an ongoing process,” one participant said.
To attend, RSVP no later than Aug. 30 to Hough at 961-7309.
