Our Lord assures us that those who mourn are blessed and shall be comforted. Each of us grieves the loss of a loved one in a different way. As we mourn, the pain, sadness and emptiness may seem overwhelming. Working through grief is hard, but it can be made easier when it is shared with others. If you are grieving and would like to get help working through it, please call Sister Denise Marie at 440-729-9575.
