The Pathways Center for Grief & Loss will present a six-week virtual grief support series, From Surviving to Thriving, every other Tuesday from February 28 through May 9, 2023, from 6 to 7:30 p.m, 2023. The group is for those which are 18 months or longer from the date of the death of a loved one.

The series offers the opportunity for participants to reflect upon their current stress level and satisfaction in different areas of life. Two of the sessions will focus on the basics of good nutrition and the connection between eating healthy foods and better mental and physical well-being. Educational tools and discussion will help participants learn how they can thrive, rather than simply survive after a loss.

Group facilitator and bereavement counselor Sonya Hershey-Velasco says, “Many people have a tendency to hibernate and become less active in the winter months. If they are coping with the loss of a loved one, they may be struggling with some physical aspects of their grief experience. It is important to make a concerted effort to take good care of yourself.”
