Make Your Own Condolence Card: Expressive Arts Workshop
2025-03-06 18:30 - 20:30 | Transitions LifeCare, 250 Hospice Circle, Raleigh, NC, 27607, United States
Do you ever wish that condolence cards felt as unique as your individual loss? Whether it’s the loss of purpose, identity, your future, or something else, these losses are real and painful. Unfortunately, these losses often feel invisible because they are rarely acknowledged by others. During this workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn more about these losses, identify and explore the many dimensions of your loss, and create condolence cards honoring the otherwise unacknowledged losses you have experienced.
Registration is required. Call 919-719-7199.
