On Saturday 27th June from 2-4pm, at St Peter’s, Hadlow we will be holding the next in our series of workshop afternoons, to support those coping with bereavement and grief.
The workshop is for anyone in the parish who has experienced the grief of loss, either recently, or long ago.
This session, we will focus on Holding On, Letting Go. We will explore ways of both
continuing to maintain a real connection with the person who has died whilst also learning to live our own life fully. We will look at ways to honour their memory and find the aspects of our own lives in which we find true connection with them. We will also look at how to fully live our own lives and look to the future with a renewed sense of hope and peace.
Come and look at ways of enabling a continuing relationship with your dearly departed whilst also building a future for yourself. We miss those who have died, but they are still very much part of our lives. This workshop will be about balancing the past, present and future.
Places must be booked in advance, by Sunday 21st June.
Please email or phone for more information, or to reserve a place.

Useful information.
The workshop will take place at St Peter’s, Hadlow. The meeting room here is warm and comfortable, large enough for a group of 12, small enough to be welcoming and friendly, and easy for us all to hear each other. There is plenty of parking on site, newly refurbished toilets and a kitchen for refreshments.
When we meet as a group, there is no pressure to speak - some people find comfort in simply being in the company of others who understand a little of what they are going through. Some find it helpful to share their stories as well as listening to the experiences of others. Each workshop follows a gentle format. We begin with a hot drink, and a chance to meet informally. There is usually a short reading or reflection; some input from us; a time for discussion and sharing; sometimes time for something creative or to listen to a piece of music; a time of prayer for those we have lost, and for each other. We look forward to welcoming you.
