A two-day workshop for widows and widowers of all faiths and ages.
JOYFUL AGAIN!
- Whether you’ve been widowed at least 1 year or many, many years
- If you’ve attended other grief support groups, but still wonder “will it ever get better?”
- When you are stuck or feeling guilty
- If you are ready to reflect on the impact your spouse’s death has had on your own life
- If you are open to sharing your story, and hearing from others who’ve been widowed
The Weekend Experience
WHAT TO EXPECT
A 2-day workshop and spiritual retreat
