NASHVILLE – Alive Hospice is offering free grief support services for Middle Tennesseans who lost loved ones in the recent Japan tragedy. Anyone who would like to utilize these services is encouraged to call 615-963-4732.
Services being offered include:
· Individual grief counseling for adults and children
· “Grief in the Workplace” programs (appropriate for employers, worship communities and other organizations affected by losses in Japan)
· A grief support group, if there is sufficient interest from the community.
These services will be provided by counselors with Alive Grief Support Services, the bereavement support program of Alive Hospice. The nonprofit agency has offered support to the community after tragedies including last year’s floods in Middle Tennessee; the earthquake in Haiti last January; Hurricane Katrina; and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
“A funeral or memorial service is often a helpful step in the grieving process, but it can be very difficult to know what to do next,” said Karen Nash, director of Alive Grief Support Services. “Grief counselors are trained to help with taking those next steps toward healing and restoring a sense of balance. We don’t ‘get over’ losses, but we can learn how to integrate them into our lives. Alive Hospice is here to provide this support for anyone in our community who needs it.”
Alive Hospice is a nonprofit agency that provides compassionate end-of-life care and grief support in 12 Middle Tennessee counties. For more information, call 615-327-1085 or visit www.alivehospice.org. |
