“My experience in the group was like a large flower opening in the sun!”

 

“I learned a tremendous amount about the grieving and mourning process during our time together. What I learned has helped me through a difficult time of grieving.”

–Augustana Grief Group Participants

Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy. You are invited to join this group and learn ten essential touchstones for finding hope and healing your heart.
