The workshop will focus on grief as a normal part of an individual’s transition through life. \nAs a normal life cycle experience\, grief can best be described as a distinctive cluster of common emotional\, physic al and spiritual reactions to loss. This description of grief in no way diminishes how traumatic a loss can be for the griever. Rather\, “it sa ys we can identify with each other as human beings who all struggle with the death of a loved one\,” said Workshop Facilitator and Licensed Soci al Worker Neil Petrosky. “We have the ability to join together and help one another through this struggle.” \n Noting that grief is a very individual process\, Petrosky said the workshop will encourage pa rticipants to explore their own solutions to the challenges of living wi thout their loved ones and dealing with the many changes that follow a l oss. The workshop will provide a safe place in which individuals can so rt out which activities and time tables are right for them. \n Your experience will be enhanced by attending all six sessions\; how ever\, it is understandable if you cannot attend each session. The sessi ons will be held at Wayne Memorial Hospital from 1:30 to 3 PM on consecu tive Tuesdays starting May 21st through June 25. The workshop will be of fered free of charge. Workshop Co-facilitator will be Reverend William R ushik\, a hospice chaplain and the pastor of South Canaan Free Methodist Church. \n Participants are asked to complete a registrati on form\, which can be found at www.wmh.org or by contacting Petrosky at (570) 253-8608. He is also available for questions.
