Grief is a natural reaction to loss following a death, divorce, abandonment, illness, or even loss of a job. But at times grief can be overwhelming and leave you feeling empty, isolated, and hopeless. If you are struggling with grief, you are not alone. Join us this Fall for our new Healing Journey grief support group. In this confidential, non-judgmental group setting, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your grief, learn tools for coping, and receive the support you need to move forward with your life.
