Coping with Grief During the Holidays (November 8, 2017 7:00pm)

The death of someone we love is difficult in itself. The expectation of the holiday season compounds that difficulty. Come and be part of a practical discussion surrounding the topic of grief and the holidays. Questions addressed: What is grief? How will I get through these days without the one I miss so deeply? How do I support those who have lost a loved one through the holidays?

Presented by: David J Stevenson, Crossroads Hospice and Palliative Care

David J. Stevenson joined Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care, Plymouth Meeting, as a bereavement coordinator just this past June. David has undergraduate degrees in psychology from Grove City College and a master’s degree in divinity (counseling emphasis) from Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia. David has had an interesting and diverse career track. He previously worked as a child grief specialist at Highmark Caring Place, a grieving center for children, adolescents and their families in Harrisburg.
