Grief Support Group

“Journeying Through Grief” support group meets on the third Sunday of every month in the Chapel (adjacent to Sanctuary near the 84th Street entrance). The group meets at 9:30-10:30 a.m. from September through May. During the months of June, July and August the group meets from 10:00-11:00 a.m.

This group is open to all members and non-members grieving the loss of a loved one (i.e. parent, child, spouse) through death. It provides a safe and supportive environment whether your journey has just begun or you are further along your path. You are welcome to sit quietly and just listen or to share your story.

This group is facilitated by Kathy Czarniak, RN, Parish Nurse and Life Transitions Coordinator who has worked professionally with those who are grieving. She has personally experienced the death of her first husband, father and other relatives and friends and brings understanding and empathy to working with those who are “journeying through the valley of dark places”. Kathy has many resources available and welcomes your inquires. Please feel free to contact her at kczarniak@mountcarmelchurch.org.
