Just Coffee

When you are grieving it can be tough getting out and socializing again. Perhaps those precious moments in the morning once shared with your person are difficult to get through. Having a familiar, comfortable place to go can help ease the transition.

Little Talks, Big Feelings

Children experience grief differently than adults and knowing how to talk with them about death and grief can feel overwhelming. This supportive workshop offers practical tools and compassionate guidance for having meaningful conversations with children . Whether you're a parent, teacher, counselor or caregiver our hope is that you will feel more confident and prepared to walk alongside children through grief with love and honesty. Space is limited. Please RSVP by January 19^th.
