Delaware Hospice Lunch Bunch Lecture on “Holding On & Letting Go: Sorting through Memories after Loss,”

Delaware Hospice's Family Support Center will hold a Lunch Bunch Lecture on Friday, February 3^rd, where Dr. Judy Pierson, Clinical Psychologist, will discuss "Holding On & Letting Go:  Sorting through Memories after Loss," at the Delaware Hospice Center, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, from 12 to 1:30 p.m.

Following a loss, some people clean out the closet as quickly as possible because the memories are just too painful.  Others leave entire rooms just the way they were before their loss.  How do you decide what to keep and what to let go of when someone you love dies?  This workshop will focus on dealing with the emotional challenges of letting go which include renewed feelings of grief and even guilt.  We will also explore suggestions for preserving memories and family history without becoming overwhelmed with "stuff."   Whether you are faced with the challenge of cleaning out your parents' home or struggling to sort through your partner's possessions, come join us for practical and sensitive help.

Lunch Bunch Lectures are organized by Delaware Hospice's Family Support Center and are open to the public.  Registration is required as seating capacity is limited, and the cost of lunch is $5.00 per person.

Register by Wednesday, February 1^st, by contacting Vicki Costa, Associate Director of Family Support Center, at 302-856-7717, x1129 or  vcosta@delawarehospice.org.
