Evergreen children’s bereavement program announces new format

    DOVER-FOXCROFT — Pine Tree Hospice is excited to announce a new series which will meet weekly for six weeks, beginning on Wednesday, March 25 (excluding April school vacation week) from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Dover-Foxcroft Congregational Church. Each session will have a different focus, such as memories, feelings and coping. An adult/parents group is also available while the children meet.

    A death in the family affects every member from the oldest to the youngest. A child’s grief may be expressed in ways that are different from an adult’s. Evergreen is Pine Tree Hospice’s program for children, teens and their families who are experiencing grief. It provides a safe place for kids to share their experience of grief with others who are also in the process of working through their grief and loss. Trained bereavement facilitators use a variety of activities to encourage expression. Participants may talk about their experience or choose not to talk.
    Please contact Pine Tree Hospice by calling 564-4346 or emailing wecare@pinetreehospice.org to register for this session.
