The Honoring Mothers Workshop will be held on Saturday, May 18, from 10 – 11:30 a.m. This free workshop is a safe space for anyone, who has lost their mother, to be able to join others who have experienced a similar loss. Through activities and discussion, attendees have an opportunity to connect with others and realize they are not alone on their grief journey, as well as learn powerful coping tools to deal with the difficult emotions that often accompany grieving a parent. Everyone will create a keepsake to take home to remember mom. This workshop is open to individuals and families with children ages five and up and will be held at the Uplifted Community Grief Center, 3115 N. 1000 West Road, Bourbonnais. All workshop materials and light refreshments will be provided.
Registration is required to attend, so materials may be prepared. To register for this free grief workshop or for more information on all our grief support services, please call their office at 815-939-4141.
