Lois Batsios is forming a new ministry at Hope Lutheran Church called The Grief Support Group. Meetings will be every month on the Fourth Thursday at 6 PM in the large classroom. Please read below for details and to learn about our facilitator – Camie Engel.
This monthly, one-hour group is a safe, welcoming, and judgement-free place where people who have recently experienced a loss (death of loved one, loss of job, pet, friendship, marriage, or home, children who left for college, to name a few) can come together to share their struggles and learn some coping skills. This group will provide emotional support, validation, and education about grief, helping you feel less alone.
Camie Engel holds a master’s degree in Grief Counseling from Regent University of Virginia Beach, VA. Her monthly column in “Our Towne” magazine, “Good Grief with Camie”, is written to be a window into the often confusing and painful topics of grief and loss. Having experienced life-altering losses of her own, she had a passion to get more educated and trained to help others.
Join us when you are ready, the first meeting will be on Thursday, September 28th.
Feel free to reach out to Lois with any questions
