Grieving through the Holidays

The holiday season can be difficult to cope with when you have experienced the death of a loved one. Rather than being times of family togetherness, holidays can bring feelings of sadness, loss and emptiness. LifePath Hospice invites our hospice families and those in the community who have experienced a loss to attend our “Grieving through the Holidays” workshops.

These free workshops provide guidance and support to help cope with your grief during the holidays. To register, please call 813.357.5610.

Duelo Durante la Época Festiva

La temporada navideña puede ser difícil de afrontar cuando se ha experimentado la muerte de un ser querido. En lugar de ser momentos de unión familiar, los días festivos como día de gracias y navidad pueden traer sentimientos de tristeza, pérdida y vacío. LifePath Hospice invita a nuestras familias de cuidados paliativos y a aquellos miembros de la comunidad que han experimentado una pérdida a asistir a nuestros talleres sobre el “Duelo Durante las Fiestas.”

Estos talleres gratuitos brindan orientación y apoyo para ayudarlo a sobrellevar su dolor durante la época festiva. Para registrarse, llame al 813.357.5610.

Taller de Vacaciones

Los consejeros de duelo pueden brindar el apoyo adicional necesario durante la temporada navideña.
