WILMINGTON — The holiday season is a time of great emotion. For those who are experiencing their first holiday following the loss of a loved one, the emotions of the holiday season can be overwhelming.

Community Care Hospice is offering “Finding Hope Through the Holidays” to help anyone in the community who has or is experiencing the loss of a loved one.

“Finding Hope Through the Holidays” is a presentation by the Community Care Hospice bereavement counseling staff that will celebrate and honor lost loved ones, and offer insight into ways to cope with grief during the emotionally charged holiday season.

The programs are free of charge thanks to the generosity of community donations. Participants can choose one of two opportunities to attend the programs, which will be held at Community Care Hospice offices at 1669 Rombach Ave., Wilmington.
