Good morning, Salem.

The holidays can be difficult for people grieving the loss of a loved one.

This Thursday, Willamette Vital Health is hosting a free event to bring people together to find support through grief.

The annual Winter Remembrance Concert will offer people a space to listen to music, talk with others and spend time with others grieving. There will be certified music therapists and a spiritual counselor at the concert available for people to meet and talk with.

The concert will take place at the IKE Box’s ballroom inside the cafe, 299 Cottage St. N.E. It will be from 6:30-7:30 p.m. and doors will open at 6 p.m. More information is available on Facebook.
