Newton, NC – There is no doubt COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our community, with the number of COVID-related deaths continuing to increase. What is not well documented is the toll these losses have taken on family members. The restrictions of COVID-19 are complicating the grief process, often resulting in isolation for both the dying patient and their loved ones. Not being with a loved one in their time of need, or not having the chance to say goodbye makes grieving their death much more difficult.
Those who have suffered a loss are invited to join Carolina Caring for Grief 101 – a time of sharing with others who are on a similar journey. This in person workshop will meet on Thursday, December 9 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Carolina Caring located at 3975 Robinson Road, Newton, NC. Registration is required and safety protocols will be in place. Participants will be required to wear a mask during the workshop. To register, please visit CarolinaCaring.org/support, contact [email protected] or call 866.466.0466, ext. 3201.
