VIRTUAL – LIVING ALONE: Building Resilience amid Grief, Loneliness and Aging

Leader: Jeanne Childs, M.A. Board Certified Clinical Geriatric Chaplain

Tuesdays, 9-10:30 am   Mar.19 through May 7, 2024

As we age, change happens. We can lose key people in our lives. New health conditions can overwhelm us. We can find ourselves living alone. All of us can feel the impact of uncertainty and difficulty on our hearts and in our nervous systems. Companionship with others who also experience this can help us build resilience.

Our support group offers an open-hearted, accepting source of comfort for its members as we navigate new realities. We offer good will, trust, honesty, respect, and uninterrupted time for each of us to speak, knowing what is said is held in sacred confidence and not repeated to others. All these characteristics allow us to be able to relax and feel free to be real … to share what has been on our minds and hearts even when we are still trying to figure it out. While we don’t give advice or tell each other what to do, there is much to learn in sharing experience strength and hope as we create new pathways. Join us!

This is an eight-week support group.  When you sign up for the first session, you are signed up for the full series.  We ask that people attend the full group to allow for people to share stories in a safe, confidential, supportive group.

You will receive the zoom link 60-minutes before the first session.  It will be sent to the email you use to register.
