Come spend time with others who understand what it’s like when your spouse dies.

Pot Luck Luncheon - bring an appetizer, lunch item, or dessert to share. Beverages will be provided.

Recently widowed? Confused? Crying? Angry? You may be riding a roller coaster of emotions; or you may be numb to everything around you. Whatever you are feeling, thinking and experiencing, please know that God is with you, and He understands it is all part of your personal grief journey. Come share your story with others who have experienced the death of a spouse.

Widowed some time ago? Your life is forever changed. It doesn’t matter how long ago; triggers can bring fresh pain. But, you have gotten through the worst of the grief, and you have made a new life for yourself. Come support the more recently widowed, and share how you have gotten through the bad times and found your way to your new life.

Feel free to bring a small picture or special memento of your loved one.

To register by March 19, or if you have questions, please contact Rosanna Farley at stjohngriefsup@hotmail.com.
