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.
