If you are grieving the loss of a child through miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death, you are not alone. Our diocesan ministry, ava's grace, exists to offer you spiritual, emotional and practical support. One of the ways we do this is through our monthly drop-in online support group on the third Wednesday evening of the month, which is tonight (June 17th), from 7:30 to 8:30 PM (EDT) This evening, in honor of Father's Day, we will be looking at research on the grief of dads. If you are interested in attending, please email Lisa at [email protected] for the Zoom link and passcode. All are welcome, wherever you live and however recently or long ago your loss was.
