Through a series of eight weekly workshops, Walking the Mourner's Path serves individuals who are in grief after the death of a loved one. Participation is kept to a small group to allow the opportunity to work through the grief in a focused manner.

Guided by a trained facilitator and clergy, individuals will:

• Acknowledge their pain and brokenness.
• Recognize that each person’s journey through grief is unique.
• Learn that through sharing with others and being comforted by God’s love is when healing occurs.
• Focus on one concept each week to work through the grief without feeling overwhelmed.
• Use a workbook to guide prayers, reflection, and exercises.
• Share stories.
• Experience tears and laughter.
• Find healing and joy.
