Interested in joining a lovely grief support group?
ABODE is partnering with Christus VNA Hospice to launch Life After Loss, a six-week online group designed to help us better understand the process of grief and how to live through it in a way that is healing. We’ll share experiences and support one other through a combination of teaching, discussion and learning activities.

The program will be led by Rev. Derek LaBranch, along with Bereavement Coordinator Barbara Duffield and Volunteer Coordinator April Cramer, all of Christus VNA Hospice. Sessions will cover:
- The physical, emotional, spiritual and social implications of grief
- The process of grief
- Memories and how to use them to heal
- How to take care of ourselves while we grieve
- Holidays and anniversary dates
- Planning for the future
Our trained Christus VNA Hospice facilitators are experts in bereavement and grief support:
- Rev. Derek LaBranch
- Barbara Duffield, Bereavement Coordinator
- April Cramer, Volunteer Coordinator
Interested? Please send an email to mary@abodehome.org. Space is limited to just six participants, so the sooner you RSVP, the better! We’d love to have you with us!
