The holidays can be stressful during the best times, but coming on the heels of losing a loved one, they can be especially difficult. Pierson Bible Church, 101 Grand St., Pierson, hopes to offer some encouragement through a grief support seminar they are offering on November 20, at 6:30 p.m. called “GriefShare: Surviving the holidays.” There is no charge for the event.

The seminar features practical suggestions and reassurance through video interviews with counselors, grief experts and other people who have experienced the holidays after a loved one’s death. Topics include why the holidays are tough, what to expect, how to prepare, how to manage relationships and holiday socials, and using the holidays to help you heal.

The seminar is not just for people going through grief, but also for family and friends for insight on how to help those that are hurting.
