Program for holidays to help the grieving

CANFIELD

“Finding Light and Hope During the Holidays,” a program to help survivors deal with the loss of a loved one, will take place at 2 p.m. Nov. 14 at Higgins-Reardon Boardman-Canfield Chapel, 3701 Starr’s Centre Drive.

Normally a time of joy and celebration, the holidays often have a much different effect on those who have experienced the death of a loved one. They can result in renewed sense of grief, accompanied by sadness, loneliness and a feeling of emptiness.

In keeping with the spirit of giving, participants are invited to take a gift in memory of a loved one or drop one off at Higgins-Reardon Austintown Chapel. The gifts will be given to those in need at Emmanuel Community Care Center, St. Columba Cathedral and the Dorothy Day House. Please tag gifts with size, male, female, child (boy or girl), or toy, etc.

To register by Wednesday, call the funeral home at 330-792-2353.
