SPECIAL EVENTS
Grief Workshop
Wednesday
December 7
1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are holidays typically joyous and filled with treasured memories for many. However, there are those carrying around heavy loss, sadness, anger, and dread in their hearts. They wear a happy face, however, their hearts harbor a different story. UCC offers a special invitation for all to participate in this 3-part series prior to the holiday season. Please R.S.V.P. Mary Ellen Shea at CaseyShea3@gmail.com by Wednesday, October 12 to reserve your place.
The workshop facilitator is Mary Ellen Shea, M.S., bereavement professional, workshop instructor, and facilitator for small groups seeking bereavement support. She is a member of UCC at The Villages.
