  • Healing from loss is a journey. There is no "right way" to grieve, and grief cannot be rushed. Everyone experiences grief differently, but you’ll find many grieving people are facing the same struggles. Grief is a journey that shouldn’t be traveled alone–others who’ve gone before you can help.


    Loss of a Spouse is a one-time session designed to help those dealing with the specific grief that comes with losing a spouse. We will meet on Wednesday, March 18th from 1:30-3:30 PM. There is no charge for this one-time session.
