  • This grief support workshop provides Information on the

    grief process, techniques for self-care, and an opportunity

    to meet others who have experienced a similar loss of a

    loved one within the last four months.

    Learn the basics of grief and gain an understanding of

    how grief is likely to unfold over time. This is an

    educationally focused grief support group that will cover

    such topics as common grief symptoms, theories to help

    us understand the process of grieving and healthy ways

    of coping as we move forward. The workshop is 3

    meetings long, each meeting will cover a different

    educational aspect.

    Participate in as many or as few of these psycho-

    educational offerings that are designed to support you in

    your grief journey. Join other grieving adults as we

    discuss these aspects of grief that may be impacting you.

    Participants will join virtually as a family for grief

    support and memory making activities, as well as the

    opportunity to connect with other families who have

    experienced a loss. All supplies for the camp will be

    provided to participants ahead of time.

    Grief can leave us feeling lost, alone and questioning our

    spirituality. This book study is designed to openly discuss

    these questions and help you feel more grounded in your

    grief journey.

    The group will read and reflect on the following diverse

    books to find inspiration, comfort and healing from grief

    and loss: The Hideaway by Lauren Denton (fiction), Behind

    Rebel Lines: The Incredible Story of Emma Edmonds

    (nonfiction/biographical); The Five People You meet In

    Heaven by Mitch Albom (Inspirational Fiction) and

    Carnegie’s Maid by Marie Benedict (Historical Fiction).

    Join us to explore how meaning-making can provide

    healing and connection during times of grief. David

    Kessler’s first-hand experience with multiple personal

    losses and his expertise as a renowned grief expert make

    this book and related discussions a valuable contribution

    to the lives of persons living with losses.

  • During this time of grief and uncertainty it can be healing

    to walk outside in the natural world. We will gather over

    Zoom to briefly share and to set an individual intention

    for our walk - perhaps to breathe, remember, or reflect.

    Then each participant will take a walk in their own

    neighborhood or yard, wherever you feel comfortable.

    This group provides a place where men can meet with

    other men who have suffered the loss of a loved one. Men

    tend to not like talking about emotions, but we grieve

    non-the-less. For many men the first response to grief is

    to suppress it, however there is healing when we can find

    a safe place, a friend or group, where we can talk.

    Joining this men’s only group may be a one-time thing or

    you may want to attend all six of the scheduled meetings.

    Expect open discussion where we learn from each other

    and from materials provided by the counselor.

    Participants can expect an open discussion where we

    learn from each other and from materials provided by the

    counselor.

    A support group for losses relating to COVID-19 as a

    result of death (the bereaved), decline or illness, financial

    impact or spiritual suffering. For the last 15 minutes of

    the support group, a guided imagery and/or meditation

    will be provided to encourage wellbeing.

    The journey of grief can feel new and foreign; however,

    the depths of emotions are part of the human story and

    documented in the Psalms. Join on this spiritual grief

    journey us to discuss and learn about the wisdom found

    in the Psalms.
