This holiday season, Community Care Hospice invites the community to remember and celebrate loved ones at Hope for the Holidays, a holiday grief support program, on Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 6:30 pm, at the Wilmington Church of God (100 R. Gordon Dr., Wilmington, OH 45177).

For those experiencing their first holiday season following the loss of a loved one, the emotions of the holidays can be overwhelming. Hope for the Holidays provides the opportunity for those who are grieving to honor and remember their loved ones. The program is open to any member of the community who is experiencing grief.

“The holidays can be particularly challenging for those who are grieving and trigger memories and longings for the past,” said Michelle Kessler, bereavement coordinator at Community Care Hospice. “We are honored and privileged to host the Hope for the Holidays program for all members of our community to remember and honor loved ones this holiday season.”

Hope for the Holidays is available from Pathways of Hope℠ Grief Counseling Centers, a grief and bereavement service of Ohio’s Hospice. The event is free of charge thanks to the generosity of the community.

Because of limited seating, reservations are required and will be accepted until Nov. 22 or until capacity is reached, whichever comes first. To make reservations, call 937.382.5400. When making reservations, please indicate the number of attendees. To register online, visit: www.CommunityCareHospice.com/Hope22
