Overview

Description

Grief comes after loss, whether it is a death, end of a relationship, unemployment, relocation, future hopes, or illness. We are tempted to avoid or buffer the pain, yet we must befriend grief to move toward wholeness. In a safe and loving circle of kindness and understanding, we will learn what grief is and isn’t, identify what can sabotage our healing, and practice tools that help us process grief and instill hope.  Drawing on the sustaining love of the Divine, we will support one another to restore a meaningful life.
