The death of a loved one can be painful and lonely. We understand that grief is difficult to bear when family and friends surround us, but harder when there is no one to lean on. We hope you will consider joining us as we begin and continue a bereavement support group at St. Ann Church. One advantage of coming to a grief support group is that you will find yourself among people who know how much it hurts.
Grief and Bereavement
The Grief & Bereavement group resumes on Wednesday, September 3rd,2025. Losses of any kind are considered but are generally limited to the previous 5 years to keep the group to a manageable number of participants. The group offers a safe space for a deep caring, sharing and bearing with one another’s burden of grief and seeks to facilitate growth in spite of loss. Meetings are held biweekly in Delaney Hall on Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30am unless otherwise noted in the Bulletin. The group is non-sectarian and non-parishioners are warmly welcomed. The dates for 2025-2026 are:
- September: 3, 17, 2025
- October: 1, 15, 29
- November: 5, 19
- December: 3, 17, 31
- January: 7, 21, 2026

Our bereavement group offers hope, healing, and support to those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Individuals will find meaning and purpose in their lives in a supportive group setting. It is an open meeting and all are welcome. The grief group will be facili- tated by Linda Flynn, Certified Psychologist.
