Daughters Without Mothers

How do we, as daughters, find our way after our moms have died? What happens to the empty chairs?

Join us at our kitchen table — you aren’t alone.

Grieving the Love of Your Life

A six-week online group for those grieving the loss of a spouse/partner.

Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow has said, “There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.” While no two losses are alike, being with people going through a similar experience can decrease isolation while providing a space to explore your unique journey and speak about your loss. This group provides a safe place as you learn to live and cope, day by day, while dealing with a broken heart after losing the person closest to you.

Starting Monday, September 12 at 6:00 p.m.
Starting Thursday, September 15 at 2:00 p.m.

Rebuilding After Loss

Rebuilding After Loss provides a safe space to explore your journey, your feelings, and how you are coping as you redefine your identity in relation to your loss.

This group explores secondary losses and is designed to provide support as you take on new roles at a time that involves challenges in many aspects of life. Rebuilding After Loss is suggested as a follow up to Grieving the Love of Your Life.

Starting Wednesday, September 21
at 6:00 p.m.

Sharing in Grief and Hope

Starting Thursday, September 8 at 6:00 p.m.
