Grief Support Group sponsored by Catholic Charities CYO
The Grief Support Group, started 10 years ago by Barbara Elordi,
meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month from 7:00-8:30pm.
We discover that grief is a normal but painful process of dealing with
drastic change.
It is a safe space to feel, cry, to experiment, to rest and
to just be yourself. It is an understanding environment where others support
you in
these changes by providing expert advice in practical aspects,
mental health, legal, financial and relationship issues. Individual counseling
is also
available. Contact Elain Khalef through the Parish Center office.
