Surviving the Holidays is a single-session, 2-hour event for people who have lost a loved one to death and would like some help in navigating the holidays without their loved one. We will learn how to deal with our emotions, tips for surviving social events, what to do with holiday traditions, and how to find hope for the future. We will watch a 40-minute video hosted by counselors and mental health experts together with interviews of those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. We will take some time to discuss the video, though sharing is not required. Each attendee will be given a guidebook to take home and implement.

Surviving the Holidays will meet Saturday, December 3rd from 9-11am at Immanuel Lutheran Church. If you need further information or have any questions, please contact Larry Verlinden. You can request his phone number or email address from our church office. Please register by November 23rd in the back of church or with Larry so enough materials may be ordered. There will be a $5 to cover the cost of the guidebook. Please consider joining us!
