For parents and other adults who have lost a close loved one – family or friend, there are so many discussions, issues, and concerns that arise. There are topics that are difficult to discuss with people who have not experienced something similar.
The Children’s Room Parents Council, a group of program alumni who are dedicated to our mission and to the support of peers, is offering a Sunday Night Discussion Series to create a forum for these conversations. These discussions are open to the public, and there is no fee to attend. We just ask that you RSVP.
All discussion groups will meet from 6:30-8:00 at our house in Arlington. The next 2 topics in the series are:
Getting Through the Holidays After the Loss of a Loved One: November 8th
Holding on to traditions or letting go? How about creating “new” traditions? Come hear how others have found ways to get through some of the most difficult days and situations.
Dating and/or Remarriage After the Loss of a Spouse: January 10th
Listen to and discuss with others the complex issues around this decision — from finding the time to date, to bringing the children into the new relationship, to merging households.
Upcoming Discussions:
Helping Your Teenagers Through the Loss of a Loved One: March 7
Your Changing Relationship to Your In-Laws After the Loss of Your Spouse: May 2
Please visit our calendar for a complete schedule.
