Bonner Community Hospice, which serves both
Bonner and Boundary Counties, is offering two
classes beginning in April, but the deadline for
registering for either is fast approaching. A Grief Acceptance Class to help those who've suffered the loss of a loved one will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. each Monday from April 1 through May 20, featuring topics including expressing your feelings, understanding grief, coping with the stresses of loss, role changes and remembering. The class is free, including refreshments, and the deadline to apply is Thursday, March 14. Classes will be held at Bonner Community Hospice, located in the Brown House, 520 North Third Street, Sandpoint. To register, call Tricia Gardner, (208) 265-1185. Training for those who'd like to serve as hospice volunteers, to help those facing their final days have the dignity and grace of passing in the comfort of their own homes, will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 each Tuesday from April 2 through May 21, also at the Brown House. Volunteers will receive training in awareness of end of life issues, in communicating compassionately and effectively, of providing comfort to neighbors living out their final days and the family members who love them. Again, the deadline for registering is March 14 and the number to call is (208) 265-1185. |
