Clallam hospice plans ‘survivors workshop’

SEQUIM — Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County is offering a new educational series for people facing the challenge of living alone after losing a loved one.

The Survivors’ 4-Week Workshop offers answers to everyday problems and provides resources for adapting to the changes that come with loss, the organization said.

Space is limited, so register by phoning the hospice office at 360-452-1511.

The free series will be from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Fridays beginning Dec. 6 and continuing Dec. 13, Dec. 20 and Jan. 3.

It will be at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave. in Sequim.

The first class will deal with financial management with Susan Burkhardt and a guest speaker. The next will focus on home maintenance, with a presentation by Kay Rudiger and Jan Yates.

The third in the series will concern self-care, with registered nurse Debby Smith and the Rev. Maggie-Bourne-Raiswell.

The last class will be “Cooking for One,” presented by Dr. Janelle Doolittle. It also will have a holiday potluck.

The nonprofit Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County provides care for the terminally ill and their families free of charge.
