For Anyone Who is Grieving the Loss of a Loved One. Grief can be a very powerful and overwhelming emotion that changes your life. Understanding, compassion from others and a commitment to allowing the experience to heal you, can take you on a journey of discovering meaning in life again. The holidays are an especially hard time. The season renews memories, family ties and traditions. We become painfully aware that our special oved one is no longer present. This is often difficult for families. The pain of the loss is confused with the spirit of the season. “Grief and the Holidays’” is a workshop offered through Porter Loring Family Care Services. It is a workshop designed to help those who are grieving and their families to better understand the grief process, how it affects us during the holidays and how we can use this special time to continue to heal. Please join us at St. John Neumann Catholic Church on November 6, 2021 at 10:00a.m.- 12:00p.m., for a “Grief and the Holidays” workshop which will be presented by Porter Loring Funeral. Please contact Judy Montgomery to reserve a spot at (210) 653-7615, or Maggie Medina (210) 602- 1633, or the Church office (210) 654-1643
