Virtual Series On Grief To Be Held Via Cranford Church

CRANFORD — These may be especially difficult times to grieve.

"We are all navigating through especially challenging times due to the ravages of the pandemic, exhaustion from political conflict, depletion of our resources, the loneliness of increased isolation, and the unprecedented chaotic environment," noted the First Presbyterian Church of Cranford.

"When you are also grieving a loss in the midst of all these stressors, life can become very dark and everyday may seem overwhelming."

The First Presbyterian Church of Cranford is preparing for its free six-week seminar, “Journey to Wholeness - Healing the Grieving Heart,” taking place every Sunday on Zoom from Jan. 10 to Feb. 14.

Registration is required to attend this event. Call Patti Williams, seminar founder and trained pastoral bereavement counselor, to register at 908-709-1341.

The church noted:

"As we enter the darkest time of the year, we offer a ray of light and welcome you to join the Journey Toward Wholeness bereavement seminar. The seminar, sponsored by the First Presbyterian Church of Cranford, grew out of a spark from Dr. Bruce Williams who co-created this program 20 years ago. Due to our respect for keeping our participants safe, the program has transitioned from in person to a Zoom platform, which allows us to include participates from a wider distance.

"The co-leaders of the program, Patti Williams, RN and Virginia Waters, PhD have both personal and professional training and experience in the field of grief and loss and are joined by a team of trained facilitators who provide support and lead breakout groups for individuals with like losses.

Follow the light to find comfort, support, tools and connection at our next seminar.

WHEN: Beginning Sun, Jan 10, 2021 for six consecutive weeks, ending on Sun, Feb 14 at 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
WHERE: Meet on Zoom. A meeting link will be provided upon registration. HOW: Register by calling Patti Williams at (908) 709-1341.
WHO: We welcome all who have experienced loss of any kind, in the past or present. We also welcome all who have previously attended this seminar to return for a refresher.
