For most people, the holidays are a happy, festive time of year. But if you are coping with the loss of a loved one, the season can be lonely, depressing and often difficult to handle.
Holidays or not, it is important for you to find a way to take care of yourself. The Samaritan Center for Grief Support, a member of the Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice Family of Services, announced a number of free, one-time support groups to help those grieving the loss of a loved one to cope during the holiday season.
While there is no charge, pre-registration is required for each session by calling (800) 596-8550.
