Hospice bereavement support Group begins in the New Year
NORWICH – It’s difficult to walk through the emotional mine field of grief after the death of a loved one. You may struggle starting life over again when, in reality, the landscape of your life has been changed forever. Your emotional skin has been scarred and you may not be equipped to heal yourself. Family and friends can expect you to “bounce back” sooner than you feel ready. These are all legitimate challenges facing the bereaved, says Hospice Bereavement Coordinator Maureen Casey-Bryant. That’s why she’s starting a new support group in the New Year.
This group is designed for anyone who feels the deep pain of a loss, whether it is recent or buried in your past. “Mourning a loss takes hard work,” says Casey-Bryant. “Time alone doesn’t heal grief; it’s what you do with that time that counts. Talking about your life and loss with others who understand your feelings is an important first step on the path to emotional healing.”
The support group is free and open to any resident of Chenango County. No prior relationship with Hospice is required. The support group will meet at the Hospice office at 21 Hayes St. in Norwich on the third Thursday of each month from 5:30 to 7 p.m. beginning on Jan. 20.
Casey-Bryant intends that support from Hospice will help those grieving face the New Year with a sense of hope that they will feel better eventually. While you’re welcome to drop in any third Thursday, Casey-Bryant welcomes the opportunity to speak with you prior to your first meeting. She can be reached at Hospice at 334-3556.
Hospice is a non-profit health care agency that cares for individuals and their families when the end of life is approaching. Most patients benefit from the full complement of services if they sign on for Hospice Care sooner rather than later. Patients most often have a prognosis of six months or less, and face a variety of health issues, from end-stage organ disease, to cancer, to Alzheimer’s disease. An informational visit by a Hospice nurse can be arranged by calling Hospice Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
