The holidays are fast approaching, but for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one these special times can be difficult times. Facing any holiday after the death of a loved one can be more difficult than friends and even family members may realize, especially when experiencing a jumble of emotions yet to be sorted out.
The GriefShare program, “Surviving the Holidays” video helps grievers to find strength, healing and tools to move forward in their daily walk through the deep pain of grief.
Subjects discussed in the program include:
• Being prepared for surprising emotions that hit over the holidays • What to do about traditions
• How to handle holiday parties and invitations • How to survive potentially awkward moments with others
• Where to find comfort, strength and hope in a seemingly hopeless time
This free program will be offered and open to the public on Saturday, December 14, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Checotah First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. Please enter through the East door.
Yes, the holidays can be hard, but thankfully there is HOPE!
