What is Widowed Persons Service?
We are a grief support group specifically designed to help the widow/widower. Meetings are held monthly, with a speaker or in a discussion group format. We have monthly social activities, offer 8 week grief discussion groups and have outreach volunteers available for one on one visits.
Let others who have walked a similar journey be there to help you, as you work your way through grief to healing.

Bereavement and Beyond
Thousands face losing a loved one each year. Since most of us have never been through this painful experience before, we are unprepared for the hurting and the healing process that lies ahead of us.
Every situation we face in our lives, is better dealt with when we have knowledge and understanding about the journey. Join us as we learn more about the emotional, mental, and physical reactions to trauma and loss, we share coping methods and healing guidelines to get through (not over) the grief in our lives.

Grief Support
Grief deepens you. It allows you to explore the perimeters of your soul. Grief is the only gateway to certain levels of consciousness, and it is a hard task-master. Through grief you can explore every aspect of your dark side - anger, pain, abandonment, terror, loneliness, and these are aspects of the sacred wound that in our daily lives we usually try to ignore.
Grief forces you to look at those parts of yourself that are not yet healed. If you can look at grief as a teaching, you will grow. The pain of grief is not the only teacher in this life, but if looked at properly, with awareness and an open heart, it is one of the greatest teachers of all.
The seeds of wisdom and enlightenment are planted within the wounds of grief. What is lost can only come back to us again in higher ways.
