Community Invited to Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton’s Hope for the Holidays Grief Program

Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton invites the community to remember and celebrate their loved ones at Hope for the Holidays, a holiday grief support program, at the Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton Community Room (324 Wilmington Ave., Dayton, OH 45420). To accommodate the community, Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton will be holding the program on two dates: Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 7 pm, and Thursday, Dec. 8, at 7 pm.

After the loss of a loved one, the emotions of the holiday season can be overwhelming. Hope for the Holidays provides an opportunity for those who are grieving to honor loved ones. The program is open to any member of the community who is experiencing grief.

“While grieving, the holiday stress and grief of loss can be particularly challenging and trigger memories and longings for the past,” said Deb Holt, bereavement counseling professional at Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton. “We are honored and privileged to host the Hope for the Holidays program for all members of our community to remember and honor their loved ones this holiday season.”

Hope for the Holidays is available from Pathways of Hope^SM 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. 29 or until capacity is reached, whichever comes first. To make reservations, call 937.258.4991. When making reservations, please indicate the number of attendees. To register online, visit: www.HospiceofDayton.org/Hope22
