Community offers free grief support during holidays

Posted on December 15, 2015 by Kaitlyn Baker

Since 1977, Community Home Health & Hospice (Community) has cared for local families including offering free grief support. As a nonprofit agency, Community’s mission is to extend grief care to everyone in the community, not only hospice families. Holidays can magnify the loss of a loved one so the need for support may be greatest during this time. Community offers free resources to support bereaved children, teens and adults. For tips on coping with the holidays, or to attend any of free grief support groups listed below, please contact Annanissa Patterson, bereavement coordinator, at 360.703.0300 or griefsupport@chhh.org.
