Loss Support Group: At the time of a deep loss, one can be shocked and “feel nothing” but later be distressed by thoughts of that person or event which intrude without invitation. Grief following a loss is normal. One way to move through that grief is to share the pain with others who understand. The Loss Support Group meets at the Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support office (178 Weeks Road) the last Friday of the month, August 28, at 1:15 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
