WALLA WALLA–Community members from throughout our region are invited to join the multi-week grief support class offered in-person and virtually at Walla Walla Community Hospice (WWCH) starting Wednesday, January 10, 2024. Attendees need not be a family member of a current or former hospice patient, and there is no charge to the participants. All forms of grief support offered through Walla Walla Community Hospice are free.

Held weekly on Wednesdays from 11:30a-1:00p, this hybrid 10-week adult support group is facilitated by our grief support specialists utilizing the book, Understanding Your Grief, by Dr. Alan Wolfelt. This group will close to new members after the second meeting or when registration is filled.

After winter’s 10-week class, the next Grief Support Class will begin on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, from 5:30p-7:00p.
