Getting Comfortable with Grief

Thursdays, July 12th and 19th, 6:30-8:30 pm

Brattleboro Area Hospice, 191 Canal St. in Brattleboro

RSVP to Connie Baxter, (802) 257-0775 ext. 104

Most of us are unsure of what to say and do when someone we know has experienced a death loss.  And the more traumatic the death, from our view, the more awkward we feel.  This leads us to procrastinate or even fail to reach out to the bereaved person.  Ironically, what people who have experienced a loss almost always need to know is that others are thinking of them.

If this describes you, please consider attending “Getting Comfortable with Grief” at Brattleboro Area Hospice, on two Thursdays, July 12th and 19th, 6:30-8:30 pm.  This is not a grief support program—call us if you need that service.   This is an educational program about the nature of grief and loss and what grieving people want from others.  We’ll explore cultural attitudes and our own beliefs about grief, share personal experiences of being both the bereaved person and the supportive one, and learn how to be personal agents for change in our death-averse culture.
