Big Bend Hospice, a Seven Oaks Health Company, has planned three events in Jefferson County to support anyone grieving during the upcoming holidays.<\/p>\n

\"\"The first is a supportive gathering called \u201cHope for the Holidays.\u201d On Thursday, Nov. 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. in a home setting at 187 Walnut St., a trained grief counselor on the Big Bend Hospice staff will offer understanding, practical tools and encouragement to help those who have lost a loved one navigate difficulties that come with the season. This event is free and open to anyone seeking comfort and connection. Registration is appreciated by contacting Pam Mezzina at 850-878-5310 pr pmezzina@bigbendhospice.org.<\/p>\n

\"\"A special \u201cService of Remembrance\u201d will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m. at St. Margaret Catholic Church, located at 1565 E. Washington St. For this free, community event, Big Bend Hospice offers a peaceful evening of reflection and the opportunity to honor loved ones while sharing moments of comfort, music and remembrance in a space filled with compassion and care. For more information, contact Amanda Messer at 850-878-5310 or amesser@bigbendhospice.org.<\/p>\n

\"\"Throughout the holidays, Big Bend Hospice will display a Tree of Remembrance at two businesses in downtown Monticello: Tupelo’s Bakery & Caf\u00e9, located at 220 W. Washington St., and Renasant Bank, located at 200 E. Washington St. Trees will go up on Saturday, Nov. 22, and will be available through Saturday, Dec. 20. The Tree of Remembrance tradition is an opportunity to honor the memory of someone special by placing an ornament on the special tree. Each tree stands as a symbol of love, remembrance and the lasting impact of those held dear. Trees will be on display throughout the holiday season. Ornaments can be purchased from a volunteer stationed next to the tree, and they also are available for purchase online at www.bigbendhospice.org.<\/p>\n
