Saint Michael and All Angels is hosting monthly meetings for Grief Recovery After Substance Passing, starting September 8, on the second Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m., in the Chapel Conference Room. 

These meetings aim to offer understanding, compassion, and support for those who have lost someone they love through addiction and overdose. Anyone who has lost a loved one through substance use knows that society treats this loss differently than a death from any other cause. There is no blame. The person struggled with their disease but, ultimately, this disease took their life. Everyone who wants to find a safe place to express their concern, grief and walk toward understanding and grief recovery from the passing of a loved one from substance death, is welcome.
