Grief Matters is a monthly education workshop series designed to provide opportunities to explore and manage grief in new ways. Recognizing that the experience of grief is both unique and universal, Grief Matters offers additional support for those striving to learn, grow, connect, and heal.
Each month, a topic or activity is presented that may help improve wellness and coping through education, self-care, and emotional expression. Participants are encouraged to try new skills and incorporate them into their lives if appropriate for their personal grief journey. Please join us on the last Wednesday of each month for a different topic or activity … because your grief matters!

As we turn the calendar page into a new year, many of us look forward to a “fresh start” and new opportunities to make resolutions, set personal goals, and change our lives in positive ways. However, the start of a new year can also bring unique challenges and hardships as we grieve the loss of a loved one. Please join us for an evening of education and conversation as we explore ways to find hope and healing for the year ahead. Tips and strategies for setting “grief goals,” coping, and self-care will be shared as well.

Grief is natural response to a loss, especially after the death of a loved one. Yet, we may be surprised to realize that our grief often extends well beyond the death itself, and we typically grieve for many layers of loss at the same time. Examples include grieving plans for the future, financial stability, changes to your support system, or how you spent your time. This event will introduce and explore Secondary Losses, these additional life changes that can compound and complicate grief. Education, coping skills, and an opportunity to share experiences will be presented as well.
