Grief

When a “Star” in your life becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.

Hospice of St. Lawrence Valley offers a special way to honor the memories of those you treasure by participating in our annual Memory Tree Event. Beginning in December, and running throughout the holiday season, the Hospice Memory Trees will be lit in the front lobby of the Hospice Center, displaying hundreds of stars with the names of cherished loved ones.

Hospice invites the community to remember and honor their loved ones during this holiday season by purchasing a Star on our Memory Trees. The trees will be on display for public viewing Monday-Friday from 8:00am-4:30pm from now until mid-January.

*If you would like to fill out your own star, please stop into the Hospice Office during regular business hours.

2018 Living with Grief During the Holidays Workshops

The holidays are often the most challenging time of year when grieving the death of a loved one. Family traditions can be powerful reminders of those who have died. Hospice encourages the bereaved to find positive ways to cope with loss and change.

The Living with Grief During the Holidays workshops will offer tips, tools and strategies to help you navigate the demands of the seasons. Each session will offer a different perspective for approaching the corresponding holiday. They are free and open to anyone struggling with the death of a loved one, and to those offering comfort to the bereaved.

Materials, including a Holiday Coping Plan, will be provided to participants, as well as a information, resources and therapeutic discussion.

The workshops will be held on Satrudays November 10th, December 15th and January 19th from 1:00-3:00p.m. here at the Hospice Center on Route 11.

Those interested can pre-register by contacting Kay DePerno at (315)265-3105 or kdeperno@hospiceslv.org.
