Welcoming new members is always such a mix of emotions. We are glad you found us, but we are sorry for the circumstances that bring us together. We understand your pain, and we hope that our unconditional friendship and support will help you through the grief. For some, the first few meetings can be rather overwhelming, especially if you are newly bereaved. We hope that anyone experiencing these feelings will return for just a couple more meetings and see if we don’t grow on you.
