Good Grief: A Mutual Self-Help Support Group
Monday, July 6, 2009 - 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Location:
A support group for people who have experinced a major loss of a loved one in the recent past.
Grappling with the grief of losing a loved one can be difficult, at best. Grievers have three options: to hide their grief, to discount their grief or to embrace their grief. When grieving is shared, there is support that we don’t expect. This seven week group offers the opportunity to embrace grief and move through it with compassionate support. No cost to participants.

Sylvia has had many profound experiences during her more than 30 years as an educator and consultant in regular and Special Education and Deaf Education. They provide her with opportunities to practice observation, deep listening, non-judgment and accepting each individual right where they are and then to empower them to go beyond their fears and do more. She supports each in developing their communication skills to express their needs and wants and to work through a situation with others with apologies and/or forgiveness.

Sylvia has a deep commitment to the well being of all people.
