28 FREE for not-for-profit community & sporting groups COMMUNITY NOTICES BLUE CARE GRIEF AND LOSS program gave me great support, following the death of my sonI was broken, lost and empty, sinking into a black bottomless hole. Not being able to laugh or be happy again, while struggling with guilt for being alive, I mourned and shared my story with six others for eight weeks, feeling supported from those in the Grief and Loss group. I have now learned to live, love and laugh again. I can’t recommend this group highly enough. It has brought me back to life.” Blue Care Grief and Loss is FREE for those who have lost a loved one through death. In a confidential environment, two facilitators guide the small group through different aspects of their grief. Registrations are necessary. Please ring Lyn on 0407 374 137 or Kaye on 0422 111 809.
