Grief Shared is Grief Diminished
St. John Vianney invites you to join our upcoming 8-Week Grief Series which will run on Monday
nights from 6:30pm - 8:30pm beginning on January 26 at 6:30pm and continuing through March 23. We will take a break for President's Day on February 16.
This series is for individuals who have experienced the death of a loved one.
The SJV Grief Series is a safe place to bring your fears, anxieties, sadness and joy.
Grief Support assists individuals in expressing, understanding, and coping with their
loss. We believe that death ends a life — not a relationship.
This series is designed for individuals who:
- Want to understand what is “normal” in grief
- Feel their world is shattered and out of control.
- Have experienced sudden loss.
- Need someone to listen.
- Wonder if they can survive in the world without their loved one.
- Have tried to bury grief and need the support of caring trained individuals to help with the journey to healthy grieving
