We all react differently to the loss of a loved one. Whatever the cause of their death, we are never quite prepared for the flood of emotions and the feeling of brokenness within. No matter where you are along this path, the group can support you in finding hope and healing in your journey through grief. Led by Karen Jax Giarnese, RN.
Goshen Community Care is here to serve all residents of Goshen.
Please contact us if you or someone you know needs our services.
