Living with Loss

LIVING WITH LOSS and MOVING FORWARD The only true constant in life is change and yet, few of us truly embrace change. Our lives are full of change and transition; each new phase presenting us with unique challenges and opportunities to grow. Sometimes change can feel like loss. Divorce is a change that can feel like loss; the loss of a job also is a change we experience. Walking with parents as they age or ‘aging in place’ is both a change and a transition that carries with it loss.

Many of us are walking this path of aging ourselves or being a witness to our loved one’s aging. It is a difficult journey we are on. As we emerge from two years of living with a global pandemic, we, Dick and Tara, wish to provide an opportunity for folks who are experiencing all of these kinds of transitions and losses in life a time to get together and share with each other the ups and downs, ins and outs that happen. This is not therapy or counseling; it is a group of caring folks who gather in confidence.

YOU…are WELCOME…whether you have lost a loved one, are personally dealing with aging, or caring for a loved one who is. Our monthly meeting for any folks from Brentwood and surrounding communities as well as Pilgrim Church members will meet in person on the fourth Thursday of the month at 4pm. Please join us.
