Giving seniors a L.I.F.T., Social program open to widows, widowers

Mickey Smith Jr. urged attendees at the Sulphur Hixon L.I.F.T. program last week to “keep on going” — and honored them for their resilience through failures, joys and difficulties, including recent weather events. The program is open to widows and widowers, but it is not a grief program, according to eight-year L.I.F.T. Director Jody Barrilleaux. “L.I.F.T., which stands for Living Information For Today, is strictly a social program,” Barrilleaux said. “It’s about engaging in life in a social setting.” Programs are monthly. Any widow or widower can attend of any age and from any area, but the group was mostly made up of men and women 60 or older. Lunch is provided.
