People encouraged to express their grief

Thank you for the announcements in the Village News about the Annual Remembrance Occasion, which was held December 10 at Phyllis Sweeney’s Encouragement Factor. People came and received encouragement to express their grief and to receive needed support as their heartfelt experiences involving loved ones were shared.

It is so important to acknowledge people’s grief not only during this Christmas season but every day of the year. My personal experience in sharing was helpful and healing for me. My mother died of liver cancer on December 10, the date of this event.

I can’t help but wonder: If the picture and caption announcing the Annual Remembrance Occasion had been more visible, perhaps more people would have benefited by this event in remembering and sharing their loved ones.

Thank you, Albertsons and Ace Party Rental, for the donations. It blessed all the participants. Thank you.
