GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS
“Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.”
Matt, 5:4
Have you or a loved one experienced a recent loss in your life? Perhaps you are grieving a death, experiencing divorce or its aftermath, working through unemployment or finding your family size changing as your children grow. Grief occurs throughout our lives as we encounter losses and often it helps to share our feelings with others, and find support, renewed hope and discover deeper meaning for our lives, and to reconnect with our families and our communities.
The group is facilitated by a licensed professional counselor. A brief telephone interview is provided before joining the group, and good will offerings are appreciated. Please consider attending and, if you have any questions, call the Catholic Charities office at 815-344-6956. Unfortunately, there is no childcare available.
