Expressions of Grief Bereavement Support Group Potluck
June 21, 2018
Posted on June 19, 2013 by Martenson Family of Funeral Homes
The Expressions of Grief support group tried something new this month. The members of the group brought different foods and desserts to be shared with the other members. There was broasted chicken, pasta, spinach salad, pineapple upside down cake, and cheesy potato’s just to mention a few.
Food has a way of bringing people together to share memories, stories and a bit of laughter. The members of the group shared a meal in the hospitality lounge of the funeral home.

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....
