Grief Support Group for Young Adults 
The grief support group, On The Journey,
sponsored by the Young Adult Ministry of the Archdiocese of Chicago
has been organized for young adults in their 20s and 30s, married
and single, who are grieving the death of a loved one: parent, spouse,
significant other, child, family member, sibling, extended family
member, friend… It hurts!
You may be experiencing some of the most
powerful and painful feelings of your life. The many feelings of
grief may seem uncomfortable and threatening to you. And, sadly,
there are too few people who want to talk to you about this pain.
Support in dealing with the grief experience
is a valuable way of helping yourself or someone you know. Support
groups often provide an opportunity for grieving persons to better
understand the wide range of feelings and behaviors associated with
grief.
More importantly, support groups offer a safe
place where people can come together for mutual support, and to
learn that their feelings are normal and that one need not be alone.
If you know a young adult who is grieving, please
feel free to pass along this information. If you would like to talk
to us before contacting them, please do so. If there is some young
adult you know to whom we can send this information, please call,
e-mail or mail us.
The 5-session program is offered over the course
of five consecutive weeks. The schedule for the upcoming program
appears on the next page. If you have already reserved a place,
you need not reply. If you have not, please RSVP to reserve a place
if you plan to attend.
For more information, you can contact Judi Black,
