Any day can be difficult for a parent who has lost a child, but the upcoming holidays can be especially difficult to manage because of the many strong feelings associated with the season.
The Friend to Friend support group from Family Services of Warren County is holding a free seminar entitled Holiday Survival Tips for Grieving Families, Thursday, Nov. 16 at 7 pm at First Lutheran Church of Warren, corner of 3rd Ave. and East St.
“There’s a song that says It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. But the festive holiday season can find the bereaved feeling acutely alone in their grief,” says Carna Chamberlin, LSW, who facilitates the support group for the charitable agency. “This seminar will help grieving families discover ways to manage the difficult days ahead.”
Topics of discussion will include: Creating a “new normal” to address old traditions, maneuvering “well-meaning” family and friends, walking at your own pace on your own path, and how to handle holiday spirit filled people.
Family Services of Warren County, Inc. provides comprehensive and professional counseling, drug and alcohol services, and youth programs. It is a United Fund Member Agency. For more information about this seminar or any of its other services, please call (814) 723-1330.
