Samaritan Offers December “Coping with the Holidays” Grief Support Groups

Press release provided by Samaritan Healthcare and Hospice to Patch. 

Holidays can be tough when you’re grieving. For most people, the holidays are a happy, festive time of year. But, if you are facing the holidays after the loss of a loved one, the season can be lonely, depressing and often difficult to handle. Holidays or not, it is important for you to find a way to take care of yourself.

The Samaritan Center for Grief Support, a member of the Samaritan Family of Services, announces the start of a free, one-session support group to help those grieving the loss of a loved one cope during the holiday season.
