Stepping into the Holidays Grief Support Group
It is often assumed in the wake of a loss that the holidays are something that requires “coping”. While this is often true in various degrees, there is also the possibility of celebrating and connecting with our loved ones in meaningful ways as we step into the holidays. Join us for an engaging conversation around this topic. Meets Wednesday, December 13th from 6 to 8 pm.
