The holidays are a time of joy, but many people deal with depression and sadness during what's supposed to be a happy time. The holiday season comes with a sense of dread for those still dealing with the death of a loved one.

Hernando-Pasco Hospice is holding a series of workshops aimed at helping people cope with holiday grief. The workshops, led by hospice bereavement counselors, cover topics such as how best to care for yourself mentally and physically during this stressful time of year and coping with memories and traditions.

The workshops are free, but people are asked to preregister. Call (727) 863-7971. For information, go to www.hphospice.org.
