Grief Support Group

Grief arrives in many ways and often returns for the holidays. For help in going through the aftermath of loss of a loved one through death, consider our next Grief Support Group, January 8 - February 26.

It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future if you've lost a family member or friend through death. You've probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt that you feel.

That's the reason for our Grief Support Group, a special eight-week seminar and support group for people grieving the loss of someone close. This group is sponsored by people who understand what you are experiencing and want to offer you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time.

Each support group session includes a video seminar bringing understanding of grief and recovery. These videos also include real-life stories of people who have experienced losses like yours. You'll also have the opportunity to interact with others who have experienced a recent loss, learn about their experiences, and have the opportunity to share your own.

Call 291-5211 to register. Also consider the resources and daily emails provided free at www.griefshare.org. They include a special series on surviving the holidays this month.
