From a Newtown Patch Facebook reader:

Newtown, CT May 08, 2016 – What to say...what not to say--A workshop on how to support people who are grieving.

It can be difficult knowing how to support a friend or family member who has lost a loved one. Trinity Episcopal Church invites the community to a free workshop to learn more about the grieving process, what words help and what words hurt, and the best ways to offer support.
