Are you or someone you know struggling with the death of a spouse, child, parent, best friend, sibling or other relative? Those who mourn need understanding, hope and comfort.

A Bereavement Support Group can help. Survivors benefit greatly from talking with others who have had similar experiences and can listen with open, compassionate hearts.

Catholic Charities is forming a Bereavement Support Group for those living in the Berlin area beginning Sept. 26. All who lost loved ones are welcome regardless of faith tradition.

Sessions are informal. Topics will include Understanding Grief; Emotions: Loneliness and Anger; Remembering; Holiday and Faith Traditions; Coping Strategies; Hope and New Beginnings.
