Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light. Matthew 11:28-30 WHAT IS BEREAVEMENT? Someone you love very dearly has died and the pain, sadness and confusion seem too great for any words to mean anything. Even life itself can seem hollow and meaningless, yet everything becomes new again. The one who suffers this loss is the mourner who must travel through the phases of grief. Working through grief is difficult, accomplished over a period of time and made easier when shared with others. The St. Paschal/St. Clare Bereavement Support Group can help. WALKING IN HOPE A BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP Each of us grieves the loss of a loved one in a different way, yet, many experiences are common to all. St. Paschal and St. Clare wish to offer support to widows and widowers, parents who have lost a child or anyone who has lost a significant person in their life. A six-week support group will begin NEXT WEDNESDAY, March 30. We will meet in the St. Paschal Rectory Parlor from 6-8 p.m. in a relaxed atmosphere with guest speakers, support materials and refreshments. Come join us and feel free to bring a friend or relative. This support group is open to both parishioners and non-parishioners. There is no charge. For more information, call Barb Curran at , Corky Mondello at or the St. Paschal Rectory at
