Creative Coping Workshop: Handling the Holidays

We understand that navigating grief can be a challenging journey, and we would like to invite you to join a supportive space where we can connect, create, and heal together. In this group, we will come together to share our stories, honor our loved ones, and engage in the therapeutic art of ornament making. December 16, 2024; 5:30 - 6:30p Location: Emmanuel Hospice; 401 Hall St. SW Suite 263 Grand Rapids, MI 49503

Our care does not end when a loved one has passed. We continue to support the family for at least 13 months following their loss by serving as a caring and reassuring presence through counseling, education, and referrals to community resources.

We make personal calls, lead support groups and workshops, and share inspirational materials that give comfort and encouragement. When the need is great, we even connect with families and caregivers through personal visits.

Our services are open to anyone in the community. If you have suffered a loss and are seeking grief support, we are here to help. Please contact our Grief Support Team at EHBereavement@emmanuelhospice.org or call 616.719.0919

Emmanuel Hospice also provides facilitation of grief support groups on-site at your organization.
