Nights of Service open house Aug. 28

DOVER-FOXCROFT — 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. Nights of Service is Pine Tree Hospice’s bereavement program for children, teens and their families who are experiencing grief. It provides a safe place to share experiences of grief with others who are also in the process of working through their grief and loss.

For many bereaved children and adults walking into a support group can be scary, especially if they do not know what to expect. Pine Tree Hospice is holding an open house on Sunday, Aug. 28 from 2–4 p.m. at the Pine Tree Hospice office at 883 West Main Street. Dropping by will provide families with an opportunity to learn about the program format, get questions answered and explore some activities used in the groups. Attendees will even have the opportunity to speak to former participants to hear their feedback on the program.
