NORWICH – Hospice is forming a new support group called “Healing Hearts” for those coping with the loss of a spouse or significant other in the past two years. “Healing Hearts” will address the unique difficulties of facing life without your partner. This group is free and open to all residents of Chenango County. A widow who has been specially trained in meeting the needs of the bereaved will facilitate the sessions. Hospice invites community members to attend for conversation, company, and coffee.

Meetings will be at the Hospice office, 21 Hayes St. in Norwich, the first Tuesday of each month from 6 to 8 p.m. beginning on July 5. For more information about “Healing Hearts” call Bereavement Coordinator, Maureen Casey-Bryant, at 334-3556 or email her at mcasey@hospicechenango.org.
