Seminar for Grieving Spouses
Hospice of Michigan will host a free “Loss of a
Spouse” seminar and discussion on healing after
the loss of a partner from noon-2 p.m. on Friday,
July 26, at the Hospice of Michigan office, 400
Galleria Officentre, Suite 400, in Southfield.
With a message of hope, author and guest speak-
er Ron Gries will share excerpts from his book,
Through Death to Life, while leading the discussion.
Following his wife Patty’
s terminal cancer diagno-
sis, Gries began a four-and-a-half-year journey that
brought ideals like preciousness of living, sadness of
death, totality of grief, wonder of healing and over-
whelming power of faith to the forefront of his life.
By sharing challenges of his grief, Gries helps
inspire other grieving individuals on their journey
of healing.
The seminar is intended for those who have lost a
spouse or life partner. All members of the commu-
nity are invited to attend, regardless if their loved
one received services through Hospice of Michigan.
A light lunch will be served at the seminar and
registration is required. RSVP to Claudia Been at
(248) 334-1323 or cbeen@hom.org.
