PODCAST: Community Chaplain and grieving over the holidays

PODCAST: Grief is a process. It's seems to be a harder process during the holidays. Some of our best memories of family and loved ones who are gone come from this time of the year.

Rev. Kennedy Hampton is the Anna Fulling Community Chaplain for the Conference of Churches. He's part of the pastoral ministry at Hartford Hospital. In our podcast, we talked about the chaplaincy and about handling grief during the holidays.

Hartford Hospital has bereavement groups that are open to the public. For more information on attending, please call the Hartford Hospital pastoral ministry at (860) 545-2251.

You are NOT alone!
