Bereavement Support Groups

  
Ministerio del Duelo

Keep in mind that adapting to the death of your loved one does not mean forgetting. It means finding a way to cherish the memories while continuing to move forward in life. It means adjusting to a world without the deceased while holding a place for them in your heart.

 

The Bereavement Ministry of Sacred Heart Catholic Church offers support groups for individuals suffering from the loss of a loved one through death. Programs are faith-based and open to all who wish to share their thoughts and feelings of grief in an understanding and safe environment.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.”
– Helen Keller

 

Grief has no time limit and requires us to feel the feeling and express our needs to others.  Be brave and share your feelings about your loss and the pain you are experiencing. Embrace your emotions and refrain from hiding or denying your feelings. Let those around you know that you need their support, and ask for help when necessary.
