A grief recovery group will begin meeting Tuesday, March 27 for 5 weeks from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Meetings will take place upstairs in the new parish hall of Emmanuel Episcopal Church and will be facilitated by Janice Wiemeyer, Ph.D. and River Malcolm, LMFT.
Grieving is a natural process that follows any significant loss in life which may include loss of a friend or family member through death or divorce, or loss of familiar life functioning due to injury, job loss, or relocation. Overcoming a major loss can challenge one’s sense of well-being as emotions are strongly affected. Many grieving individuals find it helpful to meet with others coping with loss and to become familiar with the natural grief process.
This experience is educational and is intended for anyone who is living with the effects of a significant loss. Participants will explore the normal grief response and will learn strategies for coping with loss and reinvesting energy in the future. There is no charge.
If you or someone you know would like to participate, call Emmanuel Parish at 376-2352 to register or call Dr. Wiemeyer at 376-3870.
Meetings will begin promptly at 6 p.m.
