The holiday season is commonly referred to as one of the happiest times of the year.

Yet for some people the holidays can be a time of struggle. Holiday traditions can bring back painful memories of past family members. Bereavement Coordinator with HCI Hospice Care Services, Maurice Dyer tells KNIA/KRLS News HCI has a series of grief support groups that meets at the HCI Knoxville office the first Thursday of each month from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. He says the meetings allow the chance for attendees to discuss and share their feelings that they have encountered during the loss of their loved one.
