COPING WITH LIFE ALONE

For Divorced Separated Widowed Beginning Experience of Springfield is offering an eight (8) week COPING WITH LIFE ALONE class designed to help individuals work through the trauma of losing a spouse through death, divorce or separation. Participants are introduced to the 5 Stages of Grief, a normal reaction to any significant loss. All sessions are led by a trained group of men and women facilitators who have been there; who themselves are divorced, separated or widowed; thus, a peer ministry of people caring for people and who are willing to share their own experiences to help others. The program follows a specific topic each week, and consists of a presentation and a personal talk given by a facilitator on that week’s topic. Participants and facilitators then discuss the topic in small discussion group. COPING is Christian based and open to all faiths.
