You are welcome to  join the group at any time throughout the session. The support group is run by Aftercare Coordinator, Mary Reehling and Doreen Snyder in connection with St. John Neumann Catholic Church.

"It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you've lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you‘ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.

That’s the reason for GriefShare, a special seminar and support group for people grieving the loss of someone close. This group is sponsored by people who understand what you are experiencing and want to offer you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time. Each GriefShare session includes a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos also include on-location settings and the real-life stories of people who have experienced losses like yours.

After viewing the video, you’ll participate in a small group discussion about what you’ve seen on the tape. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with others who have experienced a recent loss, learn about their experiences and have the opportunity to share your own.

GriefShare is a non-denominational group and features biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics. Please feel welcome to join a group near you. You'll be glad you did!"

 

Candlelight Service
Our "Light a Candle of Love" Service of Remembrance is held each year in December for all the families we helped throughout the year. The evening begins with special music, and is followed by a candlelight memorial service conducted by area clergy, and concludes with a time of fellowship.

 

Library Services
Our funeral home has a complete library that is available for you and your family. There are books for those children ages 5 and up to help them cope with the loss and the grief that they are experiencing. There are books for teens and adults who are dealing with such topics as anticipatory grief, miscarriage, suicide, and widowhood. Our collection also includes videotapes on such similar topics. All of these items are available to be borrowed on a bi-weekly basis, or may be purchased to keep.
