Pathways Hospice is hosting “A Celebration of Light” 7-8:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at Los Altos United Methodist Church. The remembrance event is designed to help those who are grieving find hope and cope with the holiday season.

Pathways’ Bereavement Services connect those who are grieving to a community that understands their grief experience. The hospice’s services include individual and group counseling, educational workshops and remembrance events.

“We advise people to start with a blank slate,” says Chris Taich, bereavement services manager at Pathways. “Accept that you may not have the energy or inclination to accomplish all the things you have come to expect during the holidays. Discuss and think about what you really want to do.”

Admission to the event is free, and the public is invited to attend. Los Altos United Methodist Church is located at 655 Magdalena Ave., Los Altos.
