Bereavement Support Group

Event Description

Join Rev. Linda Kemp-Baird for a weekly support meeting in Friendship Hall (Building E) on Saturday mornings.  The group will be based off of Alan Wolfelt's book: Understanding Your Grief: Ten Essential Touchstones for finding Hope and Healing Your Heart.

Explaining the important difference between grief and mourning, this book explores every mourner's need to acknowledge death and embrace the pain of loss. Also explored are the many factors that make each person's grief unique and the many normal thoughts and feelings mourners might have. Questions of spirituality and religion are addressed as well. The rights of mourners to be compassionate with themselves, to lean on others for help, and to trust in their ability to heal are upheld.

This group is open to the public.
