Upcoming: Grief Support Events

Invisible Ink
May 8-29 – Thursdays 3:30-5:00 p.m. at Peggy F. Murphy Community Grief Center, 5920 Homestead Rd., Fort Wayne. RSVP at linktr.ee/pfmgriefcenter by Friday, May 2. Invisible Ink is a writing program for anyone who needs a gently guided outlet to express and process their grief. Created and facilitated by author Kathy Curtis, the program provides writing prompts each week, in which participants write about specific feelings in letters to their loved one. Over the course of four weeks, participants share a progressive journey of healing together, which adds to the power of the process. Past participants have said that Kathy’s book, Invisible Ink: Reaching Out to Loved Ones in Spirit is a helpful preface to the program, but it is not required reading. For continued participation, attendance the first week is required.
