Workshops to Help Those Through Loss of Loved OnesWorkshops to Help Those Through Loss of Loved Ones

1/21/13 - Residents suffering from grief can find counseling and meet other people going through similar experiences at a workshop series beginning next month. Cathy Clough, founder of the New Hope Center for Grief Support in Northville, will lead the eight-week series beginning on February 4th. The program will meet at the Howell Opera House on Monday nights from 7:00 to 8:30pm. Each week a different topic will be discussed, including anger, guilt, depression, holidays, and how families change with the loss of a loved one. Clough tells WHMI that depending on attendance the workshops will be divided on smaller groups based on the circumstances of their grief. Although walk-ins are welcome organizers do prefer that those interested in attending make reservations ahead of time. Clough says the best way to do that is to contact the Borek Jennings Funeral Home in Howell, which is sponsoring the series, at (517) 546-0100. (TD)
