This grief support group provides a safe space for participants to do the hard work of mourning and follows the "companioning" model of Dr. Alan Wolfelt. This means being present to another's pain and "walking alongside," not fixing or directing. The goal is to support people through the acceptance of their loss so that they can find hope, meaning, and purpose. This work is not easy, but it is easier with the compassion and support of those who understand the depth of your unique journey through grief.

Registration is now closed for this group, but if you are interested in joining future sessions, please contact the library. 

Presented by the Lakes Region Visiting Nurse Association.
