Hospice Giving Foundation Resumes Its In-Person Workshops with the Grief Theme

Monterey California, Thursday July 1, 2021 — After more than a year and a half of the Covid-19 pandemic, Hospice Giving Foundation resumes its in-person workshops. In collaboration with Soledad Community Health Care District (SCHCD), HG Foundation is helping the Latinx community make the transition to their new reality. The Covid-19 pandemic has left different kinds of losses globally: from the loss of a job to the death of a loved one. It is now when our community needs support, as this grief will have an impact in their lives for the next two years. As part of our commitment to provide bereavement and grief services, HG Foundation and SCHCD have prepared the workshop, “Managing Grief as We Return to a New Normal”, Thursday, July 15, from 5:00 to 6:30 P.M. at the Soledad Community Center, located at 560 Walker Drive in Soledad. “Although we have fully opened, we are still recovering from this unprecedented pandemic. We will talk about how we can heal ourselves as a community in a safe and healthy way," said Ida Lopez Chan, Executive Director of Soledad Community Health Care District. In this 90-minute presentation - which will be available in Spanish and translated to English - there will be experts who will invite us to reflect on our grief, how we can manage stress, anxiety, and fear to make a healthier transition to our new routine. In addition, we will have the presence of a leader from the faith community, and we will conclude with a guided meditation. For those who cannot attend in person, this workshop will also be available through Zoom. Interested parties must register at: https://hospicegiving.org/workshops/ HG Foundation is committed to working on improving end-of-life care for people in Monterey and San Benito Counties to better understand what makes it so hard for people, especially in the Latinx culture, to talk about end of life and to improve services to this community.

Our Mission HG Foundation believes in living fully and dying peacefully.
