A Support Group for the Bereaved When a loved one dies, it can feel like you are alone. Few people understand the thoughts, feelings and the pain you are experiencing. This can lead to isolation, feelings of depression and extreme sadness and sorrow. All of these are normal. Yet, there is support through GriefShare. GriefShare is a 13 session support group for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. A GriefShare session includes an informative video, discussion and sharing. It is said that “grief shared is grief diminished.” Our next GriefShare support group will begin on February 20, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM. We will meet in the St. Clement Parish office meeting room. Pre-registration is encouraged by going to: griefshare.org. There you can also find other GriefShare groups in the area (Platteville has one) if our time/dates do not work for you. Contact Bill Manthe (723-4990) or Marcia Hampton (732- 8849) for more information or if you have questions.
