MEETING INFORMATION
Donna Mason, our facilitator, will introduce, periodically,
(not a set procedure)
various topics for Group Meetings.
After the topic is presented,
those who wish to participate may express
their feelings, opinions about each particular topic.
We are an open, relaxed bereavement group
and welcome suggestions from our members and guests.
Introductions are of great importance
as we welcome,
mourning and grieving
guests to our meetings for the first time.
The losses each of us share benefit our new guests in feeling
more at ease and to whom they may be more connected.
Our Group Members share with others many
various ways of coping
the loss of a loved one, especially in those
first few years, but the many who have traveled
the long dark journey of grief for many years are truly
very much welcome in our group and may discover they have much
to offer those of us who are just embarking upon
OUR OWN PERSONAL GRIEF JOURNEY.
Graciously donated to our Group
are CARE NOTES
from THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
in Flora.
"AND THANK YOU"
With the variety of special CARE NOTES,
our members and guests will certainly find
many CARE NOTES
"" offering suggestions in coping with our particular
loss or losses""

REACHING OUT
TO EACH OTHER FOR
"WHISPERING HOPE"
(TITLE OF BACKGROUND MUSIC)
MUSIC PLAYING "WHISPERING HOPE"
Whispering Hope Lyrics
Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers a comforting word.
Wait, till the darkness is over
Wait, till the tempest is done
Hope, for the sunshine tomorrow
After the darkness is gone.
Whispering hope,
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart
Any sorrow rejoice.
If in the dusk of the twilight
Dimmed be the region afar
Will not the deepening darkness
Brightin' the glittering star.
Then when the night is upon us
Why should the heart sink away
When the dark midnight is over
Watch for the breaking of day.
Whispering hope,
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart
Any sorrow rejoice...
