In an effort to continue to meet the needs of the families we serve as well as the needs of the community, Higgins Funeral Home will offer a complimentary Grief Recovery program to provide a safe and caring environment that fosters encouragement, education, and healing for those affected by the loss of a loved one. The group will also benefit from mutual support and compassionate fellowship between individuals who have experienced similar heart
ache as a result of their loss.
Grief Recovery is open to anyone in our community who has suffered a loss," says Clay Higgins of Higgins Funeral Home. "After the loss of a loved one, we experience a wide variety of feelings and emotions. The ever-changing emotions we experience with grief can catch us off guard," added Hope DeJarnatt, Aftercare Specialist, "We all need a support system to help us as we move through our grief journey."
Courtney Hanks, who will be facilitating "Grief Recovery" as a Licensed Graduate Social Worker, has been serving the community through counseling for approximately five years. She received her undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and her master's degree in social work from Alabama A&M University. Her passion is working with families and helping them through difficult seasons in their lives. She specializes in grief, trauma, and family dynamics, and uses therapies such as trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotion focused therapy to assist individuals during their time of need.
Classes will meet beginning Thursday, January 22 at 6 p.m. in the conference room of the Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce office located at 208 Elk Avenue South. If you would like additional information please call Jayson Davis or Hope DeJarnatt at Higgins Funeral Home (931-433-2544).
