April 20th: Coming Back to the Circle - Welcome, orientation, and covenant

April 27th: The Grief of What Was Supposed to Happen - Dreams, expectations, and the future that was planned and will not come

May 4th: The Quiet - What to do with silence — the empty house, the absent voice, the changed sound of daily life

May 11th: The Anger Nobody Talks About - Permission for the rage that comes with grief — and what it is really saying

May 18th: A Widow Without the Name - For those whose grief has no social recognition — the partner, the caregiver, the divorced, the estranged

May 25th: The Possessions - What to do with the objects — the clothes, the chair, the half-empty bottles in the medicine cabinet

June 1st: How Do You Pick Up and Carry On - The practical, honest, unglamorous question — Tuesday, and the Tuesday after that

June 8th: Threshold and Ritual - Seeds, blessing, and the summer ahead


Time: 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Location: Olmsted Parlor, Acton Congregational Church, 12 Concord Rd. Acton, MA 01720
