They give it all they have.”
Elder doesn’t have to look far to
show examples of how that hard work

“Some of those kids with the cross

Life After Loss
Grieving is a process that takes a person from loss to living again.
Many people think of grief as pain and sadness, but experiencing these
feelings is only one of the steps of grieving. Life After Loss is a FREE
6-week series, meeting on consecutive Thursday afternoons or evenings,
that offers a safe environment for men & women to grieve and express their
feelings. It also offers supportive insights and an opportunity for group interaction.
Six Part Series Thursdays, April 22 - May 27 • 2 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.
Meeting at the West Campus of Wise Regional Health System. Watch for the signs.
