Coping with the loss of a loved one can be challenging and that’s why Hospice of Evangelical and Community Health Wellness are offering a six-week educational bereavement class called, “Life After Loss.” The Life After Loss program helps participants learn coping techniques to deal with grief and loss -attendance at all six classes is strongly encouraged. Anyone age 18 or older who has experienced the death of a loved one is invited to attend. Facilitated by Cindy Moyer, LSW, Hospice of Evangelical, the program is most effective for those who have been living with loss for longer than six months.

The program is being held Wednesdays, starting September 18, through October 23, 2019, from 2-3:30 pm at Hospice of Evangelical located at 235 Hospital Drive, Lewisburg. There is a one-time fee of $20 per participant (scholarships are available). Pre-registration is requested. The program requires a minimum of six participants to be held and is limited to 20 participants.

The sessions by week cover the following topics: introductions and loss history, the grief process, depression and anger, guilt and forgiveness, letting go and saying goodbye, and taking care of yourself: new beginnings.

For more information on the group, call Hospice of Evangelical at 570-522-2157. Online registration available at www.evanhospital.com/events. Deadline to register is Friday, September 13, 2019.

Evangelical Community Hospital is currently seeking spiritual care volunteers. Volunteers may be from any spiritual background and no experience is necessary. Volunteers engage in conversation with patients while providing emotional and spiritual guidance.

Anyone interested in the spiritual care program must complete the requirements to become a Hospital volunteer and attend the Spiritual Care Training.

The next Evangelical Spiritual Care Training is scheduled for every Tuesday, beginning September 24, 2019 through October 22, 2019, from 9 am-noon at the Hospital. Attendance is required at each session.

Over the course of the training days, through classroom instruction and role-playing, participants will gain an understanding of the role of spiritual care in a healthcare setting, learn how to be present with the patient, gain insight on being an active listener, and learn valuable insights on death and dying.

Once classroom training is complete, new spiritual care volunteers will be supported in their new work through shadowing seasoned volunteers in a direct care setting.

For more information, please contact Rev. Jacqueline Heitmann, Hospital Chaplain, at Jacqueline.Heitmann@evanhospital.com or 570-522-4444 before August 30, 2019.
