The 100 Mile District Hospice Society is inviting community residents who may be having difficulty with their grief, due to the death of a loved one, to attend the next Grief Support Group.
Hospice bereavement co-ordinator Sarah Smith is facilitating “The Art of Grieving” theme for the next grief group, which begins Nov. 15.
“It will be multidimensional course for the bereaved looking for another outlet in which to explore and release grief. Through the use of tactile experiences with crafting mediums, the participant is guided and encouraged to explore emotions.
“For example, we will be working on projects like a memory box and a collage.”
The focus of these projects is not about artistic ability; rather it’s about the process and emotions, sharing with the group and personal discoveries.
All supplies will be provided although pre-registration is required.
The Art of Grieving grief group is a four-week workshop, beginning Nov. 15 and running through to Dec. 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. each session.
For more information and to register, call 100 Mile Hospice at 250-395-7680 or drop by the office in the Health Centre on Mondays through Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
