Grief Group
The 3rd Tuesday of every month, beginning April 16th, Franklin VNA & Hospice will be hosting a Drop-In Grief Support Group from 2:30 – 4pm. Anyone who has suffered a death is welcome, whether they were the caregiver, family member, friend, or a community member. The grief groups will be facilitated by our Medical Social Workers. There is no registration or fee to attend this group. For more information call 603-934-3454 or email info@franklinvna.org.
Grief has no timetable. It may come in waves during the turbulent months of a loved one’s illness and then intensify after he or she has passed away. Each experience is unique and deeply personal. Emotions run the gamut from sadness, anxiety and guilt to anger, helplessness, and depression. What many people who’ve lost someone they love want, is the opportunity to be able to talk about their loved one in a space where they can safely share what they are going through with people who have had a similar loss in an environment structured to help them navigate the grieving process.
This drop-in grief group is designed to help people on that journey. Grieving is our response to sorrowful change, and grief takes as long as it takes. There is no magic length of time until you are better.
But with support and the freedom to share what you are going through it can help you accept and learn to live with your new reality.
Volunteering
Every day, hospice volunteers touch the lives of our patients and their families. Whether you are listening to a patient’s stories, reading to them, preparing a meal, holding their hand while listening to soothing music, or running an errand, each kind gesture makes a huge impact on those we serve. Will you spend two or more hours a week making a difference in life of another? For as little as 2-4 hours a week, volunteers can offer companionship, respite care, and their own unique skills to assist patients and their family members in the community.
