Grief never ends…But it changes.

It’s a passage, not a place to stay.

Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…

It is the price of LOVE – Author Unknown

The Grief Support Group will meet Tuesday, January 23rd from 7:30-9:00 pm (to be held in the Winchester Unitarian Society Parlor / go in the 478 Main Street circular drive door and to your right.) All are warmly welcome to attend.

The Grief Support Group is open to anyone in the community who has experienced loss and seeks a caring environment to process the complex feelings of grieving. If you have experienced a death of someone in your life and would like to explore your grief with other people who have also experienced loss, please consider attending a grief support group meeting.

The grief support meetings start with a reading and then a check-in by participants. You can say as much or as little as you feel comfortable saying (you can also choose to pass if you want.) Usually personal check-ins last a few minutes each and should be uninterrupted. Then the conversation opens up. The facilitator usually starts off this conversation with a topic or question to discuss. The meetings conclude at 9pm.

This month John Loewy will facilitate the meeting and will share short reflections like the one above (in italics) to take us on our own journeys of reflections that matter to us during a time of solitude that prick at our heartaches for those we miss.

Our meetings are confidential – we ask that everyone observe the guideline that what is said in a meeting, stays in the meeting.

Please feel free to contact John Loewy, Lee Barton or Heather Janules if you would like more info on the Grief Support Program at WUS -or- feel free to just show up at a meeting. No rsvp needed.
