"Growing Through Loss" Series Continues at Roseville Lutheran Church

The second session in a six-week series on “Growing Through Loss”  will be held this coming Monday night (Sept. 24) at Roseville Lutheran Church, 1215 Roselawn Ave. W.

Patricia H. Zalaznik, a private practice bereavement counselor, is scheduled to speak on coping with grief.
The six-week grief series, which is being held on Mondays through Oct. 22, is meant to provide support for those who have lost a spouse, child, parent, friend or sibling. It is also for people dealing with a divorce or separation; pregnancy loss; loss to suicide; job change; or relocation, according to program organizers.

Each weekly session begins with registration at 6:45 p.m., followed by a professional speaker at 7 p.m., and small group gatherings from 8 to 9 p.m.  There is no fee but donations are welcome.  Free childcare is available but call a week in advance so that program organizers are prepared to care for your children.
