GRIEF GROUP
WEDNESDAY, July 26 @ 1pm
The Jackson-Bartlett Grief Group continues to meet twice per month. Its next gathering is Wed, July 26 @ 1pm at the Old Red Library. In person only. The dates for upcoming meetings follow: July 26, Aug 9, Aug 23, Sept 13, Sept 27.
We will meet as one group this week, and discuss forming two different groups around common forms of loss, so that we can remain nimble in size and attentive to different experiences.
The group is facilitated by Rev Gail Doktor, a bereaved parent, trained as a hospice chaplain. Currently, the grief group is supporting a complicated mix of losses. Some people are grieving spouses and partners. Others are grieving children. Others have lost parents. All forms of such loss of human relationships, through death, are acknowledge and addressed.
This group is free, and open to the community. Everyone is welcome, participants may not be able to attend each session, but we’ll meet as consistently as possible. Feel free to pass along this info to anyone whom you know, who might need such a support network. We’re operating word of mouth and enews only.
Questions should be directed by text or voicemail to Rev Gail’s cell, available upon request from the church: [email protected]. Thank you!
Feel free to bring books or resources you find helpful, and/or share by email such recommendations.
