BSA Hospice of the Southwest hosting Thanksgiving coffee and dessert gathering
BSA Hospice is organizing a ‘Coffee and Dessert’ gathering on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, from 2 to 4 p.m. at 5211 SW 9th. This is the second year for this special gathering.
“Our goal is to ensure that no one feels isolated during this holiday season,” said Alyssa Jenkins, LMSW, Bereavement Coordinator at BSA Hospice of the Southwest (BSA Hospice) in a news release. “That’s why we’re providing numerous opportunities for people to connect with others and enjoy a warm, welcoming environment surrounded by their friends and neighbors walking the same journey.”
The holiday season, often a time of joy and celebration, can present a stark contrast for those mourning the loss of a loved one, particularly for individuals facing their first holiday season without someone special. “Our holiday traditions hold a dear place in our hearts, and we look forward to these moments every year,” Jenkins said. “Yet, the absence of a loved one can cast a shadow over these celebrations, making the season particularly challenging.”
In addition, BSA Hospice’s ‘Grief and the Holidays’ support group is scheduled to meet Dec. 7. It’s free to attend, but registration is required.
Anyone interested in attending any of the events is asked to reach out to Alyssa Jenkins at 806-356-0026 for more information and to register.
