Grief Support

St. Olaf and the Downtown Coalition for Grief Support provide education and support for those grieving the death of a loved one. Nine sponsoring churches make up the Coalition and host the grief meetings. The aim is to provide a respectful, caring atmosphere, inclusive of all faiths.

Excellent speakers, trained facilitators and a group of others who have experienced loss make these sessions a place of healing. It’s possible to walk the path of grief alone, however the companionship of others who are also wounded by loss is tremendously consoling and powerfully healing.

Meetings are held every Saturday from 9:45 – 11:30 am. You can join the group at any time. If you have any questions, please contact Joan Miltenberger at 612-332-7471 or jmiltenberger@SaintOlaf.org.
