Dubuque

We have an on-going support group called ‘Sharing the Journey’ that meets the first Wednesday of each month from 11:00 am-noon at 120 Bryant St., Suite 100, Dubuque.

Photo Journaling Workshop - Remembering loved ones who have passed away is a crucial aspect of grieving. Come learn how to preserve memories in a creative and fun way through the process of photo journaling. Please bring several photos that remind you of your loved one to the workshop. The workshop will be held on April 14th at 6:30 pm at the Burlington Public Library-Meeting Room B located at 210 Court Street Burlington.
Please RSVP so enough materials will be available: 563-583-5136.

The Bucket List Workshop - When grief slows us down, the movie the Bucket List can remind us that there are goals out there each one of us wants to achieve. Join us for a time to consider what it can mean when (even in grief) there is a future to consider. The workshop will be held on September 8th at 6:30 pm at the Burlington Public Library-Meeting Room B located at 210 Court Street Burlington.

Please RSVP so enough materials will be available: 563-583-5136.
