"Wolf Deno lost his wife, Diana, over a year ago. It's been hard, but he's had help.
Deno, 65, of Marysville was one of about 30 people at the annual Celebration of Life on Thursday organized by Sutter North Medical Foundation's Home Health and Hospice.
The event at Restoration Center Church in Yuba City is a gathering of families the organization has worked with during the past 13 months who have recently lost a loved one.
"Without the meetings, I don't know where I'd be," said Deno, of the weekly group meetings. "They give suggestions on what to do and break down the grieving process and help you find out where you are in the process. It helped immensely."
Deno, whose easy smile is hidden underneath an ample beard, said the meetings are an important part of the grieving process."
Hospice helps loved ones grieve - Appeal-Democrat: News
You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho
