We will share ideas on surviving the holidays and continuing your healing. Knowing that you are not alone can lighten your load and sharing with others can bring comfort. All those who have lost a loved one (not just those who have used Hospice) are welcome. Come join us in remembering and honoring those dear to us.
The Holiday Support Group meets Thursday, Dec. 17, from 3-4:30 p.m. at the Charles W. Leighton, Jr. Hospice Office, 524 W. Maley Place in Willcox.
You do not need to call to attend the Holiday Support Group.
Make NCNH holidays special
It's that time of year again, Christmas is near. At Northern Cochise Nursing Home, we always try to make it a very special time. Many of our residents have no family near, so our staff and our community become their family.
We will have an "Angel Board" that will be hung in the nursing home on Nov. 30.
Please come in and pick an angel. On the back of each angel is the information you will need to choose or make a gift (i.e. male, female, size etc.).
Be an angel this special season and pick one of our angels to show you care.

Advent Brunch at TLC on Saturday
At this time of year often we women are overwhelmed by the preparations for the season that include gift purchase, holiday baking, festive cooking, children's programs, and extra parties in addition to the commitments of a regular routine. We tend to lose ourselves in busyness while the spiritual reason for Christmas becomes dim or lost. Advent, the month before Christmas, is set aside for getting ready and waiting for the Christ child.
Trinity Lutheran Church invites the women of Willcox to participate in a time of peace and inspiration. Join us for food, fellowship, singing and an inspiring speaker. There is no charge, but reservations are required. Call the church at 384-2155 and leave your name to reserve your special place. This event is funded by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
The Advent Brunch will be held Saturday, Dec. 5 at 10 a.m., at Trinity Lutheran Church 111 North Bisbee Ave. Speaker Pastor Kim Sterner will speak on "How Long Must We Wait, O Lord?"
Pastor Kim is Pastor of Bethel Lutheran in Phoenix. She has a special heart for the country of Haiti and with her congregation raises money to purchase pigs. She will share her experiences with us in the context of an Advent meditation. We are taking a free will offering to support her ministry in Haiti.
