Grief Support Group

The Health Committee offers to those who have experienced the death of a loved one the opportunity to walk the journey of grief with others. The blessing of support from those walking a similar journey is invaluable.

Anna Rickell, MSW, LISW-CP, CGP, church member and experienced psychotherapist, along with our Parish Nurse, Beth Cecil, RN, serve as co-facilitators. A grief group is offered in the spring and fall.

For more information about upcoming groups, contact Beth Cecil at 864-208-2136.
