GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP, Spring 2010

This 6-week group is a special weekly seminar and support group for people who are grieving the death of someone close to them. During this time we will learn to struggle to understand grief, what it might look like, how different it is for each person, and how there is no "right or normal" way to grieve.

The cost is FREE

TIME: 6:30p-8:00p

PLACE: Alumni Conference Room in Hunter Welcome Center (2nd Floor)
Who can attend: This group is for anyone grieving the death of someone they love, or know someone who is, no matter how long ago. This is a place where confusion, anger, chaos, tears, stories, pain, and out-right sorrow are welcome.
