Hospice of the Rapidan Will Host Free Workshops on Coping With Grief During the Holiday Season

Hospice of the Rapidan will offer free workshops for people who are grieving the loss of a family member, loved one or close friend this holiday season. The holidays can be especially difficult when dealing with the loss of a loved one. The program offers participants the opportunity to discuss their feelings, concerns, and questions with others who are going through similar experiences and to get assistance from Hospice of the Rapidan’s grief support team. All members of the public are welcome.

Four workshops will be offered, two in Warrenton and two in Culpeper. The Warrenton workshops will be held on Thursday, November 18th and Thursday, December 9th from 2:00 to 3:30 pm at the Warrenton-Fauquier County Visitor Center, 33N Calhoun Street. Workshops will be held on Tuesday, November 23rd and Tuesday, December 14th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at Hospice of the Rapidan’s office, 1200 Sunset Lane, Suite 2320, Culpeper.
