Grief at Holiday Times

A special program “Grief at Holiday Times” will be presented on October 23 at Riverwood Healthcare Center, Aitkin. The program will be presented by three local grief group facilitators: Judy Anakkala, Mary Ann Kult and Betty Thompson.

Approaching the holiday season during a time of grieving can cause additional anxiety and stress. You may not know what to do about the details of a particular day or fear that the event will be a painful reminder of the loss more than the joy once remembered. This program will give you new ideas and options as you prepare for the holidays after the death of a loved one.

The program will be held in conference rooms A & B at Riverwood Healthcare Center from 6:30-8:00PM. It is sponsored by Riverwood and is funded in part by the Miller Dwan Foundation. Please contact Val Thompson, Riverwood Healthcare Center Social Worker, (218) 927-5524, to register.
