Grief Over the Summer Events

- Sometimes, after the loss of a loved one, it's nice to have a sense of normalcy and friends who "get it". If someone you've loved has passed away, and you would just like to get together with others to feel friendship and fellowship again, come join us! It's a great opportunity to get to make new friends in a safe and helpful environment.
  
  Please register to let us know that you'll be coming so we have enough seating. These are very informal gatherings, just a chance to visit.

  JULY 26: CATHOLIC COUNSELING: How to approach counseling when you're grieving
  
  Deacon Dave Farinelli is not just a great Catholic Deacon, he is also the Clinical Supervisor and one of the amazing Counselors at CATHOLIC COUNSELING. Therapy for grief, or grief counseling as it is often called, is designed to help you process and cope with a loss. A licensed counselor, especially a Catholic counselor, can do a lot of good in helping you process the feelings you’re experiencing and learn new ways to cope — all in a safe space while always advocating for healthy and holy perspectives of life. Deacon Dave will address how to know when you need counseling, how to know what to seek in a counselor, and how to make the most of each session so that you can grow beyond the pain you're feeling.
  
  Things to know:
  1. Grief Ministry events are not dating opportunities. They are meant to allow participants to feel safe and comforted by friendships and fellowship of other people facing grief after the loss of a loved one. We ask that all participants be respectful and observe the dignity of all others.
  2. You are always welcome to ask questions, but we ask that you leave advice to the pastoral team or special speakers.
  3. Please be respectful of other people at the venue, keeping aware that everyone should be able to speak and participate.
