Walla Walla Hospice offers Holiday Grief Support

WALLA WALLA —Sometimes the holidays are not the most wonderful time of the year, especially if you are grieving.

The holidays can be a very difficult time for people who have experienced the death of someone they love. Memories of good times and togetherness at the holiday season serve to remind us of their loss.

Walla Walla Community Hospice (WWCH) welcomes the community to an afternoon online workshop on Sunday, November 21st from 1 to 3pm. The event is facilitated by the Hospice Bereavement Team, consisting of staff social workers and spiritual support counselors. Participants can expect thoughtful presentations and discussion and to learn strategies which may help them through the season.

Any residents experiencing grief in Walla Walla, Columbia and NE Umatilla counties are welcome. The workshop will be online using the Zoom platform. This is the second consecutive year Hospice has facilitated this event online. Last year it was well attended and appreciated by those who attended.

WWCH is asking those who’d like to attend to RSVP ahead of time so they know how many attendees they need to prepare for and to be able to send attendees connection info to the Zoom meeting and resources. To RSVP, visit wwhospice.org and click on the “Grief Support” link or visit their Facebook event.
