The Grief Workshop is for all those who have lost a loved one in death, whether recently or years ago, and who are willing to share their pain and grief with other caring people.

Our seven weeks together will give you an opportunity to understand your reaction to death and the process of grieving and healing. It is a process in which one begins to find the steps of rebuilding life without your loved one.

Unless we deal with our thoughts, feelings and beliefs concerning death, we cannot effectively walk in peace and newness of life.

Whether your loss is that of a spouse or a child, a parent or friend, a grandparent or any other significant person, there is no simple answer to your adjustment to death. We hope that the Grief Workshop will begin to open your understanding and help you find the ability to go on living and to reestablish ties of love and support.
