Wallace Funeral Home's professional care does not end with
the funeral ceremony. We realize that often the
hardest times follow the funeral once the family and friends
have returned to their normal routine.
To assist you in this time of need, we have developed
the Sussex and Area Continuing Care Program. It is
offered free of charge to anyone in our area who has
suffered a loss. Lorraine Pollock heads our Continuing
Care Team.

 |
To learn more or to
participate in any of these programs, please contact
Lorraine Pollock at 433-1176. |

(3 - 6 week grief
counselling programs). |

We maintain a library of grief resource materials for your
use. Our library includes books, videotapes,
audiotapes and brochures all authored or produced by nationally
recognized authorities.
Topics include general grief and bereavement, loss of a
parent, death of a child, children and death, grief in the
workplace, terminal illnesses, sudden and traumatic death, AIDS
related deaths, suicide and homicide and a section for
professionals dealing with death as caregivers.

The Empty Chair Grief Program
This bereavement support group offers a series of six classes four
times a year to help you understand and deal with your grief. You
can talk about your feelings, hopes and loss within the comfort
and safety of people who understand. It was developed to assist
the person who has experienced a death of a family member or
friend to grow and form new relationships without their loved
one. Wallace Funeral Home is the only funeral home in King and
Queens County which offers such a bereavement support group.

The holiday season can be a particularly difficult time for those
who have recently experienced a death. Accordingly, Wallace
Funeral Home offers two programs to offer comfort and healing
through the holidays.
|
|
Early in December “The Empty Chair Grief Program”
offers a special seminar especially designed for those
individuals who are about to experience their first holiday
season without their loved one. We talk about making
decisions on how, what, when and where you might want to spend
your holiday.
|
|
 |
Our "Living Memorial Tree Campaign": Each light on our
"Living Memorial Tree" represents the life of a person
who has passed away in the past year. Families are encouraged
to purchase a light in memory of a life they wish to remember
during the holiday season, all proceeds are donated to a local
charity in the memory of those who have passed away.
