Bereavement Ministry

Here at the Catholic Community of Ascension & St Augustine, we believe no one should grieve alone.

“A New Day” is a 6-week (once a week) Bereavement Support Group for anyone who has lost a loved one. Two support groups are offered each year – one in the Fall and one in the Spring. Our fall course will be starting soon. Contact Lisa Uhl below for information or to join.

Give yourself some time to work through the natural process of grieving. You deserve the gift of understanding the grieving process and learning the tools necessary to begin healing.

Throughout life we are faced with different types of loss such as divorce; losing a job; a child leaving home; disease or injury; moving; giving up a dream; a change in a significant relationship; a miscarriage, stillbirth; SIDS; the death of a loved one, and the list goes on.

Some topics discussed in the Support Group include:

· An Overview of Loss & Life Transitions

· The Five Stages of Grief

· How to get through the Holidays after a loss.

Come share your story or just listen. Connect with others who are going through same process.

One-on-One Bereavement Counseling is also available. For further information email Lisa Uhl below.
