One of the valuable lessons learned over the past few generations is that people with similar pain can be very good for each other. The expansive growth of AA is probably the largest example, but there are many others.
Anyone who has ever lost a child knows how helpful others can be who have spent time in the club that no one wants membership. Those that have lost a family member or friend because of an additional have a uniqueness to their grief and thus far, not many groups have been created for this specific plan.
Addiction Recovery Ministry is sponsoring a grief group for family members or friends who have lost a loved one because of an overdose or addition.
Our discussion will be framed by the video, "Among the Many."
We will strive to offer hope to anyone grieving such a loss.
We will begin meetings on Tuesday, May 21, and they will run weekly until July 2. Each meeting will start at 7:00 pm and will be held at the John Paul I Center, 201 9th Street, Sharpsburg.
If you have experienced this tragedy, please feel welcome. If you know of someone that has suffered this tragedy, please invite them.
