A four-part grief workshop offering insights on grief including myths about grieving, factors that make our grief unique and health coping skills, and much more, will be offered in three locations in September by Home Hospice of Grayson, Cooke and Fannin Counties. 

On Tuesdays – September 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th, JoCarolyn Chambers, LCSW, social worker for Home Hospice, will lead this seminar at the T.E.A.M. Center, 806 W. 16th Street in Bonham from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and in Sherman at Home Hospice’s office, 505 W. Center Street, from 5:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.  In Gainesville, the seminar will be held on Thursday, September 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. in the Community Room of Muenster State Bank, 1601 W. Hwy 82.

For those whose lives have changed by the loss of someone they love, this four week seminar provides the opportunity to share with others who are going through similar experiences, recognize and identify feelings and emotions that are felt, as well as providing the opportunity for developing tools and strategies that can be helpful.  “Seasons” was specifically designed to incorporate practical information to individuals as they deal with the normal feelings of grief including anger, guilt, confusion, frustration, and adjustment.  Individuals who have attended this four part seminar over the past two years have been able to acknowledge a new understanding of their own personal grief journey that they are on and also acknowledge a rediscovery of joy and gratitude in their lives.

This group is offered free of charge to all in our community who are healing from the loss of someone in their life, but registration is required so that adequate planning and materials may be prepared.  Please contact  Jolene Senek, LBSW, CT, GC-C, for more information or to register, 903.868.9315 or 940.665.9891, or jolene.senek@homehospice.org.  Or  you may visit www.homehospice.org.
