SUMMARY:Loss of a Loved One Peer Led Connect Group "Navigating Early Grief"
DESCRIPTION:The death of a loved one to epilepsy is one of the most difficult experiences you will face. EFMN invites you to attend our quarterly Peer-led Loss of Loved One Connect Group to find peer support\, helpful resources\, and a space to talk openly about your grief. We recognize that everyone grieves in their own way and at their own pace. Whether you are looking to share\, listen\, or simply be in the presence of others who understand\, this group provides a supportive and safe space where you are not alone. This group is open to anyone who has lost a loved one to an epilepsy-related death. For more information\, contact one of the peer-led facilitators: Angie Weaver at angie.weaver@scn2a.org Loretta Campbell at lkboileaurcp@gmail.com You can also reach EFMN by phone at 218.624.1330.
