Surviving The Holidays GriefShare Seminar
|
Surviving the Holidays is a helpful, encouraging seminar for people facing the holidays after a loved one’s death. Please join us on Sunday, November 15 from 1-3pm at Trinity Parish Hall, 515 S MacArthur Blvd, Springfield. The seminar features video interviews with counselors, grief experts, and others who have experienced the holidays after their loved one’s death and who offer practical suggestions. These people share honestly about:
•Being prepared for surprising emotions that may hit over the holidays
•What to do about traditions and other coming changes
•How to handle holiday parties and invitations
•How to survive potentially awkward moments with other people
•Where to find comfort, strength, and hope in a seemingly hopeless time
Those who attend will receive a workbook filled with tips, encouragement, journaling ideas, and exercises for help through the holiday season. Preregistration is requested at www.griefshare.org or Joleen Hoff #217-899-9418 or trinitygriefshare@yahoo.com
