The support group is open to anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one and participation is free. Valerie Noblitt, director of home care services at Citizens Memorial Hospice, stated that the program aims to “educate participants about grief and loss, help them develop coping and adaptation skills, and provide emotional support.”
Chaplains Austin McCrickard and Dustin Preston from CMH Hospice will lead the sessions along with counselors Terry Warren, LCSW; Kimberly Lannan, MSW; and hospice coordinator Connie Duryee. Topics addressed during the series include understanding the grief experience, managing complex emotions, coping with changes, preparing for holidays and special occasions, and finding meaning after loss.
