Grief Support Series at St. John Vianney Parish

Monday, March 28, 2022, 6:30 PM

Repeats every Monday until March 28, 2022

Location: St. John Vianney

SJV invites you to join our NEW Eight Week Grief Support Series beginning on Monday night February 7^th, at 6:30 pm, and continuing for eight consecutive weeks through March 28th. This series is for individuals who have experienced the death of a loved one.

SJV Grief Support is a safe place to bring your fears, anxieties, sadness and joy. Grief Support assists individuals in expressing, understanding, and coping with their loss. We believe that death ends a life – not a relationship.
Who should join the 8 Week Series? Individuals who:

Need to know what is “normal” in grief
Feel their world is shattered and out of control
Have experienced sudden loss
Need someone to listen
Wonder if they can survive in the world without their loved one
Have tried to bury grief and need the support of caring trained individuals to help with the journey to healthy grieving

To sign up, please call Debbie Mellin at (925) 787-3040, Jerry Mellin at (925) 787-8865, or the Parish Office at (925) 939-7911, ext 0.
We will be meeting every Monday evening at 6:30 pm in person OR by Zoom . The Zoom link will be provided prior to the meeting for anyone who is signed up (the in person option is dependent on available space and current Diocesan guidelines and may change on short notice).
Location: For those who wish to meet in person, we will be meeting in the Lower Mullen Commons in the Library. Mullen Commons is located behind the Parish Church at 1650 Ygnacio Valley Rd, Walnut Creek. You can walk down the outside stairs on the East side to access Lower Mullen Commons. Parking is available on the Church level or just below the Commons building.
Ongoing Grief Support
We also provide two ongoing Grief Support Groups that meet monthly on the 2^nd Saturday of each month:
Loss of Child Grief Support Group: 10 am – 12 noon. Lower Mullen Commons. In person only.
General Grief Support Group (e.g., loss of spouse, parent, sibling, friend): 1 pm – 3 pm. Lower Mullen Commons. In person OR by Zoom beginning in February 2022. Note: this is a new day and time of the month.
Contact the parish office for information. These two groups allow drop ins, but encourage regular attendance.
