The ministry offers those who are suffering the death of a loved one the ability to start the process of healing in a confidential structured support group.  The program consists of nine weekly sessions and includes guidance from trained facilitators consisting of discussion and sharing, handouts and most importantly the time to begin or further their journey of grief. In addition, each facilitator and all participants bring with them their own life experiences in dealing with the death of a loved one.  The program explores the stages of grief, the emotions involved and our ability to heal in both a physical and spiritual way.  If you are struggling with your feelings, finding it difficult to cope and feel maybe you are a little overwhelmed, “Heal Your Grief” offers participants a small respite from the difficulty that death can bring.  The program will be offered three times a year and our next program will begin on January 8th at 1PM in the Parish Hall. We ask that you please let us know if you are attending as we would like to make sure we have enough materials.  Also, please feel free to contact the facilitators listed on the website for additional information on our program.
