For those who have lost a loved one, you should know our Pastoral Care Department can understand the devastation and intense sadness you may feel. Perhaps for a variety of reasons, you hesitate to share your deep feelings of grief or you feel cautious of tiring others with your concerns, or it's just too difficult to share with someone the magnitude of what you are facing.
We know that it means a great deal to talk about your loss and to feel understood. It is one of the most vital means of letting you know that you will survive and feel whole again.
For special dates and to learn more about our support groups, contact our Bereavement Coordinator at (708) 229-4299.
