For those experiencing their first holiday season following the loss of a loved one, the emotions of the holidays can be overwhelming.

Hope for the Holidays is available from Pathways of HopeSM Grief Counseling Centers, a grief and bereavement service of Ohio’s Hospice. The event is free of charge thanks to the generosity of the community.
