The Grief Ministry at St. John Vianney invites you to join our upcoming 8-Week Grief Series which will run on Monday nights from August 3rd at 6:30 pm, continuing through September 28th. 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.
Who should join the 8 Week Series?
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
