Some thoughts on Grief and Loss:
What I have found from doing previous groups is that issues around forgiveness come up every time we meet.
It may have to with forgiving yourself, the caretakers, and the also the loved one who has died.
Questions such as: Did I do enough? I should have done more? I would have done more if etc.
Grief is a lifelong process. It is similar to waves in the ocean. They come in sometimes softly and then pull then back slowly or they can come crashing in and pull out in a loud and powerful way.
Come and join us and gather with those who are walking the same walk as you.

Our events:
- Once a year, around All Souls Day, the ministry organizes a memory liturgy that remembers those that have gone home to be with our Lord and share our loss and our joy that God allowed our loved ones to be with us in our life journey.
