What is Expressions of Grief?
Expressions of grief is made up of a group of men and women who have suffered the loss of a loved one through death. Participants are able to discuss their thoughts and feelings openly. Everyone is encouraged to discuss their feelings openly if they wish to, but no one is made to talk. At times some feel they would like to listen .
Grieving takes time and to have others who have been in the same situation listen with compassion and offer helpful suggestions makes the journey a bit easier. The group is run by a facilitator who is knowledgeable in grief and loss.

In moments of loss, what families often remember most are the stories — the small, vivid details that made their loved one unmistakably *themselves*.
Being close to your loved one is important
Grief has a way of reshaping life.
For your consideration
At times we all struggle with what to say when a loved one, a friend or acquaintance has just lost someone to death. We find we often struggle with the right words to say, often times we over think what we should say and we may decide to say nothing at all. At times just being present to the person can make a huge difference or one may say, “I don’t know what to say, but I am here for you.”
Grief is a deeply personal journey, and when someone we care about is hurting, it’s natural to want to help
Furry friends are family
Planning is not easy....
