Program addresses grief at the holidays
A special program called “Grief at Holiday Times” will be presented on November 12 at Riverwood Healthcare Center. Three local grief group facilitators--Judy Anakkala, Mary Ann Kult and Betty Thompson—will facilitate the program. It will be held from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in conference rooms A & B at Riverwood’s hospital in Aitkin.
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.
Registration is appreciated. To register, contact Val Thompson, Riverwood Healthcare Center Social Worker, (218) 927-5524.
