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.
