Grief Support
Program by
McLaren Hospice
We will meet on Wednesday
from 1:00pm - 2:30pm on the
following dates: March 2 & 16;
April 6 & 20; May 4th & 18th;
June 1 at the Senior Center.
Discussion topics will
include the grief process,
emotional pain, guilt, anger,
depression, stress, worry,
holidays & support.
The goal of a grief support
group is to provide a safe and
supportive environment for participants to express their feelings and better understand their
grief experience. Many people
find relief in talking with others
who have also experienced the
death of someone close to
them.
Everyone is welcome to
attend. This group is offered at
no charge to any member of
the community mourning the
loss of a loved one.
The group will be facilitated
by Mary Hyde, licensed social
worker at the Waterford Senior
Center. Mary has both professional and personal experience
with hospice and bereavement.
Caregiver Support
Are you caring for a loved one who is frail, dependent or
suffering from memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease? Many
caregivers find it helpful to share their concerns with other
caregivers.

Volunteers
Senior Center Advisory
Friendly Visitor Program
The Advisory Board is a group of senior volunteers who are dedicated to assisting in the
future direction of the Center. The group’s input
and ideas are valued by staff when considering
changes, additions or deletions of programs that
are offered at the Center.
All Senior Center members are welcome &
encouraged to participate! The Committee Chair
is Dennis Griffin. New members and visitors are
always welcome! The next meeting is scheduled
for Wednesday, April 13, 10:00 a.m.
The Friendly Visitor Program needs a few
good volunteers to
socialize with homebound seniors in their
home. Isolated seniors love to spend
time with a friendly
visitor reading, helping write letters, playing games or just
talking. The pay is
fantastic – smiles
and hugs! Call Marilyn Hauger at
248.682.9450.
Cleaning Services Needed
The Outreach Department is
looking for people who can provide
free or low cost cleaning services to
seniors in our community. Please

May 18. Please join us at 8:30 a.m. Donuts &
coffee provided.
