The Journey Through Grief Bereavement Support Group
By Home Hospice
Jun 15, 2016

Home Hospice of Grayson, Cooke & Fannin Counties is offering a new focused bereavement support group in Cooke County starting June 16, 2016. The weekly support group will meet every Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for six weeks. Each week the group will discuss topics such as "surviving the fog" and "dealing with endless questions."  

Jerry Huggins will lead the discussions.  The group will meet at the Cooke County Home Hospice office at 316 S. Chestnut in Gainesville, Texas.

Jerry Huggins, Home Hospice Spiritual Coordinator said, “Experiencing grief over the loss of a loved one is a normal part of life’s journey.  However, it can become an overwhelming enemy that can be harmful physically, and emotionally. There is no magic pill or quick fix for this journey of grief, but sharing your journey with others who have experienced the loss of a loved one, can make it easier. Come and join us in this six-week session on dealing with this journey through grief.”

Each week, June 16, 23 and 30 and July 7, 14 and 21 the group will meet and help each other navigate grief issues, provide support, and work together on topics such as “getting through all the firsts” and “finding the ‘new normal.” You can attend all six support groups or just one if you choose. We hope to see you there!
