Grief, whether it is for the death of a spouse, a child , a parent, a sibling, or a beloved friend is an intensely personal thing. Often it is accompanied by a wide range of emotions: anger, guilt, despair or loneliness. Families and friends can help immeasurably but sometimes they are at a loss to know how to treat or how to talk to a grieving person. Finding a gentle, caring and non-judgemental support group can often be the beginning of the "healing journey". |
The Healing Journey |
The Grief Support Program is available several times a year in both Port Angeles and Sequim. The two hour sessions are held weekly for five weeks. A series of video tapes are viewed followed by group discussion with gentleness and voluntary sharing emphasized. Hospice volunteers who have experienced losses themselves and have attended the series are available in person or on the phone to give continued support. This program is offered through Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County at no charge. Current schedule is shown on Calendar of Events. |
