First Monday of Month (FMM) - Peer-Led Support Topic Meeting - NOVEMBER

Our topic this month is:  "Navigating the Holidays, Past and Present"

How can we help one another "get through the holidays?"  

Join us as we discuss our needs and apprehensions--and what strategies we might adopt to alleviate some of our holiday sadness and grief.  

Our Topic Committee volunteers suggest reading the following: 

What's Your Grief, 64 Tips for Coping with Grief During the Holidays

Or, you can listen to Dawn's Video on the topic, here

We really hope you will join us.

About Me: I think kindness, compassion and positivity is so important.  Instead of finding the glass half full or half empty, I find the glass refillable.  I have 2 Daughters, 2 Fantastic sons in law and 2 grandchildren.  
Interests: Reading and Walking, which morphed into walking with my headphones on while listening to books ever since COVID started—what a delightful coping strategy for me! 
Works well with:  empty nesters and widows who want to learn and grow and move forward with purpose.
