Holiday Grief Support Events Offered in Detroit Lakes

Detroit Lakes , MN (KDLM)- Are you finding the holiday season especially difficult because of the loss of a loved one? Several local grief support events are being offered in the coming weeks to assist people in navigating the holidays. Two Surviving the Holidays seminars are scheduled for Tuesday, November 17th, from 10 am to noon at West-Kjos Funeral Home and Wednesday, December 9th, from 6 to 8 pm at David-Donehower Funeral and Cremation Service, both in Detroit Lakes. The two hour sessions include a video, group discussion and practical tools for coping with grief during the holiday season. Mary Swenson, Grief Care and After Care Coordinator, says participants will leave feeling better equipped to handle the holidays. She says a book provided as part of the program is also a helpful resource for navigating changes in family traditions and relationships after a loss. Anyone who is grieving is welcome to attend, and family members and friends are encouraged to come along.
