Hope for the Holidays

Nov. 8, 2025

This time of year isn’t always the easiest for many folks in our community, especially when they’re grieving the recent loss of a loved one. So Reynolds Jonkhoff Funeral Home, Michael’s Place, and Heartland Hospice are coming together to put on “Hope for the Holidays,” an event on Thursday, Nov. 13, geared toward grief support—including speakers, resources, activities, and a special remembrance gift. The organizers describe the event as a “compassionate space to find comfort, connect with others, and discover hope for the future.” The event starts at 4:30pm and will run about 90 minutes at the Hagerty Center in Traverse City. Tickets are free, but registration is encouraged at eventbrite.com/e/hope-for-the-holidays-tickets-1708449481389.
