Local Grief Counseling Before Christmas

There is help before the holidays for those locally who are experiencing grief and loss.  Referring to the scripture tells the Body of Christ to, “…bear one another’s’ burdens, and in doing so we fulfill the Law of Christ,” Hospice of Wilkes Regional Medical Center and The Healing Tree Counseling Center are co-sponsoring a grief support group called, “Coping with the Holidays.”  Meetings are every Wednesday in December at 12 noon beginning on this Wednesday, December 7, 2011.  This group is designed for anyone experiencing any kind of loss…loss of job, loss of health, loss of a loved one, divorce…even the loss of a pet.  Co-facilitating the Group will be:  Helen Clark, Bereavement Coordinator Hospice of Wilkes Regional Medical Center, Paul Hugger, Director of Pastoral Care Chaplain - Wilkes Regional Medical Center, and Marge Maycock, Counselor Licensed Professional Counselor.  Wednesday meetings will be conducted at The Healing Tree Counseling Center, on School Street in Wilkesboro. This is the large brick office building located on the left as soon as you turn onto School Street. This support group will be free of charge, but an offering will be accepted to cover the cost of refreshments.
