Delaware Hospice Lunch Bunch lecture set for Sept. 9; register by Sept. 7
Delaware Hospice’s Family Support Center will hold a Lunch Bunch Lecture from noon to 1:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 9, at the Delaware Hospice Center, 100 Patriots Way, Milford. Dr. Judy Pierson, clinical psychologist, will discuss “Understanding Complicated Grief.”
Complicated grief consists of grief that is chronic, delayed, exaggerated, or masked. It is most common when the loss was sudden or traumatic. Deaths resulting from suicide or homicide, or the death of a child, are particularly difficult for those who are grieving. Also challenging are losses that are dismissed or minimized by others, such as the loss of a difficult person or even a pet.
This workshop will examine losses that are particularly challenging, red flags that suggest a person may be having a complicated grief reaction, and strategies for moving forward when grief becomes particularly difficult.
Lunch Bunch Lectures are organized by Delaware Hospice’s Family Support Center and are open to the public. Registration is required as seating capacity is limited, and the cost of lunch is $5 per person.
Register by Wednesday, Sept. 7, by calling Vicki Costa, 302-856-7717, Ext. 1129, or email vcosta@delawarehospice.org.
