It can be difficult knowing how to support a friend or family member who has lost a loved one. Trinity Episcopal Church invites the community to a free workshop to learn more about the grieving process, what words help and what words hurt, and the best ways to offer support.

The workshop will be conducted Saturday, May 14, from 2 to 4 pm, at C.H. Booth Library, 25 Main Street.

The facilitators are Joanna DeNicola and the Reverend Samual Dexter.

Ms DeNicola is the program manager of The Healing Hearts Center for Grief & Loss, a program of Regional Hospice & Home Care. She is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker specializing in issues of grief, hospice support, and coping with community tragedy.

Rev Dexter is the manager of the spiritual care program at Regional Hospice and Homecare. He is an ordained minister of the United Church of Christ and also has a master's degree in clinical social work with a concentration in gerontology.
