SUMMARY:GRASP Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Grief Recovery After Substance Passing (GRASP) was created to offer understanding\, compassion\, and support for those who have lost someone they love through addiction and overdose. \nToo many times we suffer not only the death of the person we love\, but we become isolated in our grief. We feel\, and too many times it is true\, that no one understands our pain. But at GRASP\, we do. We have suffered this same kind of loss and we have found the love and connection that only those who have lived this loss can give another. And while the pain of this loss will always be with us\, we have found through GRASP that we don’t have to walk the road that is our pain alone. We walk it together; hand in hand and heart to heart. \nGRASP is a discussion group that provides help\, compassion\, and most of all understanding for individuals who have had someone they love die as a result of substance use. \nLearn more by visiting their website at grasphelp.org. Preregistration is requested if you’d like to attend. Contact Greg Kimmet at reddinggrasp@gmail.com or (973) 768-3497. \nThis event is part of our Free Weekly Wednesdays program sponsored by Meadow Ridge.
