This Peer Support group is for those grieving a death of a loved one. If you have lost a loved one, please join others who have also experienced a loss, for a series of six sessions of information, mutual sharing and peer support in a spiritual, caring, and confidential setting. We invite you to participate, we are using The New Day Journal, A Journey from Grief to Healing. The sessions will include time for readings, sharing, reflection and journaling.
Our mission is:
To provide a Christ-centered support group for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
To offer peer support (spiritually and emotionally) for those who mourn
To provide knowledge of the grieving process and tools for the healing journey
To offer a caring, compassionate and confidential space in which to heal from grief.
If you are interested in joining or would like more information about the group please contact Carol DeMuria at pastoralcare@stbenedictnj.org or call 732-239-2053, Pre-Registration is required.
