Dear Friends,
We have 10 partner grief groups, that some of you may not
be aware of. Some of them are fairly new, small groups.
Some of these extra groups may interest you, or they may
interest other people you know.
Please read the list below.
If you 'qualify' for any of the groups and would like to
join, please send an email to me at
arlynsmom@cs.com
and let me know which group you want to be part of.
I'll send an application to you after I hear from you, and
after you send it back, watch for the invitation…
