New Hope Grief Support Community

The holiday season can feel different and overwhelming after a loss. Traditions may bring bittersweet memories, and gatherings can highlight the absence of a loved one. For those who have experienced the death of a loved one, the holidays can intensify feelings of anxiety, sadness, longing, loneliness, guilt, and even anger. Activities meant to bring families together can become strained and difficult, but there are ways to cope and find enjoyment during this time.

Our New Hope for the Holidays community event is designed to help you focus on what truly matters during the holiday season. Attendees will learn specific strategies for managing the activities and emotions that arise during this time of year. The evening will feature an inspirational speaker, a panel discussion, refreshments, and a luminary ceremony to honor our loved ones who have passed away. Individuals and families with children are encouraged to attend. We’ll have special age-specific activities and treats for the kids so parents can fully engage with the program. If you or someone you know is struggling with grief, we invite you to join us and find support among others who are experiencing the same challenges. Let’s navigate the holidays together.

The event is free to attend, but registration is required as space is limited. Please use the form below to RSVP by December 3rd. Include any guests you will be bringing, including children, so we can plan accordingly. We will send a reminder the week of the event. If you are no longer able to attend, please send us a courtesy email.
