Grief and Meaning Making Support Group

How can we deal with our own grief? As the title of C.S. Lewis’s book A Grief Observed implies, each grief is unique. What do we do with our sadness, shock, and even anger? One thing we can do is come together to reflect and receive. Together we will read sacred texts, grief experiences and grief theory to find suggestions for meaning making. We do not “get over” a loss, but rather we process it to be blessed by the love that remains.

Anyone facing grief is welcome. This group offers spiritual companionship and is not a substitution for grief therapy. 2024 dates:  October 11, 25; November 8, 22; December 13 (2nd and 4th Fridays). Led by Brynna Carpenter-Nardone, hospital chaplain, spiritual director, artist, writer and Director of Cathedral Arts.

Please fill out the form below in which you may list questions, concerns, accessibility and food allergy needs for Brynna. We may meet on Zoom when there is inclement weather or if this better serves the needs of the group.
