A grief support seminar and discussion will be held Mahurangi Presbyterian Church for those suffering the loss of a friend or relative this Christmas.
Organiser Alison Heckler says Christmas can be stressful for those who are grieving.
“Grief can affect our emotions, our physical health and our thoughts. Adding Christmas into the mix may stir up all of these feelings,” she says.
“There can be times in the midst of a happy or difficult situation, when we remember that an important someone isn’t there to share the moment, and it hurts.”
The seminar will be held at Mahurangi Presbyterian Church, Wilson Centre Hall, 5 Pulham Road, Warkworth on Saturday, December 2, at 7pm. Dessert will be served.
The seminar provides an opportunity for anyone who would like some tips and ideas on how to work through a grief at Christmas.
