Young Widowed Support Group
Thursday, August 18th at 6:00 p.m.
The Main Hanger Restaurant - Decatur Airport

The death of a spouse or partner, at any age, can be an overwhelming loss. However, the loss for a young widow(er) is different. Issues can involve unfulfilled dreams, children, finances, loneliness and much more.

We invite you to attend the newly formed Young Widowed Support Group (suggested ages 20-55).
The Young Widowed Support Group can offer:
• Emotional support through your time of grieving and loneliness.
• Hope for a brighter tomorrow, even though that may sound impossible.
• Friendships with others who can cry, laugh and heal with you.

For more information, call 864-2799. Click here to download/print a PDF poster for your church bulletin board.
