Grief Support Group

Are you grieving the loss of your spouse?

If you have lost your husband or wife in the past three years, you are invited to participate in a grief support group sponsored by St. John Neumann Parish in Gaithersburg. This group will meet for eight weeks beginning March 14th. Because space is limited, we ask that participants commit to all sessions, if possible.

Location
SJN Neumann House
9001 Warfield Road
Gaithersburg, MD
 (located across from St. John Neumann Church on the corner of Goshen and Warfield.)

Schedule
Meetings will be held on eight Monday evenings from 6:00 - 7:30 pm

March 14, 21, 28 and
April 4, 11, 25
At least one meeting will be held over Zoom. 

The cost is $75.  Scholarships are available.

The group is facilitated by Marianne Panke, MA.

Marianne is a lay chaplain with over 10 years of experience in working in hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices. She currently uses her chaplain skills as the Support Group Manager at a local hospital where she leads support groups for persons with dementia, family caregivers, and the bereaved. A good deal of her effort is focused on providing support groups for people who have recently experienced the death of a spouse. She is very grateful for this opportunity to work with you.
