From time to time, persons gather at Grace Lutheran Church of La Grange for Grief Support. The next 6-week series will begin after the new year, again led by Pastor Susan Gerow.
There are on-going grief support groups in the community that open up to new members from time to time, too, including those sponsored by St. Thomas Hospice (call Jill Hinrichs at 630-856-6988); Good Samaritan Hospice (call Joe at 630-829-4549); and Christ Church of Oak Brook (contact Lorri Winter at 630-321-3936 or lwinter@cc-ob.org).
As Granger Westberg wrote in his little gem of a book, Good Grief, “The various forms of loss that come our way need not be entirely damaging; they can, to some degree at least, also be life-enhancing.” As you deal with loss, please get the help you need. Let God’s healing presence surround and uphold you, perhaps through the support of others.
