Traditionally, the holidays are a time of joy and celebration shared with family and friends. However, for those who are facing grief after the death of a loved one, this time may be filled with sadness. As the holidays approach, it may be helpful to think about how to care for yourself during this challenging time, or to be aware of the effect the holidays may have on your grieving family or friends. Hospice of Dubuque partnered with Egelhof, Siegert & Casper Funeral Home for a Holiday Help presentation.
This year we welcome back, Jim Jelinske, MS. National speaker, Jim Jelinske, has spent his career researching and honing his success strategies that can apply in multiple disciplines. Being a professional clown for 26 years entertaining audiences all around the Midwest Jim uses humor to inspire and connect with his audience and will share practical suggestions for coping with the upcoming holiday season.
This presentation is available to anyone needing support after the death of a loved one. Everyone is welcome to attend. There will also be a booklet provided to assist in planning your holidays.
If you, or someone you know, is struggling with grief, Hospice of Dubuque offers a variety of grief support options, which are open to the community. Please reach out to our bereavement staff for more information at 563.582.1220 or email Hospice of Dubuque's Bereavement Coordinator, Mary Boots
