Hospice Bereavement Workshop meets Thursday

NORWICH – Hospice of Chenango County’s Bereavement Department has begun a year long program for those who have lost a significant person in their life and may need help with both practical and emotional matters. While Hospice still offers the more traditional support groups, this is something a bit different. “We wanted to widen the scope of our support,” explains Bereavement Coordinator Maureen Casey-Bryant.
Hospice will present a different topic and speaker the 3rd Thursday of every month. This Thursday, the issues of guilt and regret revolving around grief will be explored. The presentation will take from 1:30-3 p.m. at The Chenango Health Network located in the Eaton Center in Norwich.
If you would like to attend Thursday’s seminar, or have any questions about upcoming programs offered by the Hospice Bereavement Department, give Maureen Casey-Bryant a call at 334-3556 or visit Hospice’s website at www.hospicechenango.org. For those who like to plan ahead the January topic is called “Keeping Memories Alive” and will be held on Dec. 15 at the same time and location.
For those dreading the upcoming holidays Hospice is also offering a five week support session called “Managing Grief during the Holidays.” The sessions will be held at the Hospice office 21 Hayes Street in Norwich every other Wednesday beginning on Nov. 16 from 5:30-7 p.m. These meetings are free and open to the public, however, Hospice requests that you pre-register by calling their office.
Hospice of Chenango County is a non-profit health care agency that provides physical, emotional, and spiritual care to people in the final stage of a life limiting illness. Most patients receive care in their home, however, services are also available in a hospital or residential health care setting. Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance companies cover a portion of the cost of care. Hospice absorbs the remaining costs so a patient’s family never receives a bill for services. Medications related to the terminal diagnosis are covered and durable medical equipment is provided when needed. Referrals come from health care providers and, increasingly from families in need of help.
