Grief Support Series

Jasper– The death of a loved one, a child leaving home, overwhelming changes in one’s personal life – each can cause profound grief and suffering. To offer reassurance and comfort, Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center has developed a free support program called “Grief Support Series.”

In this program, participants will learn that grief is normal, examine the various emotions of grief, be encouraged to face the pain, and find ways to make a healthy emotional withdrawal from the loss. Conducting the sessions will be Theresa O’Bryan, Hospital Chaplain, and Tom Holsworth, a clinical psychologist who has served as a co-facilitator of this program since its inception in 1991.

This 5 week program begins Tuesday September 6th and will run for 5 weeks, ending on Tuesday, October 4th.  Programs will be 6:30 – 8:30 pm. in Memorial Hospital and Health Care Centers Chapel.  This program is free and space is limited.   Pre-registration is necessary, please call 812-996-0219.
