The Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC) follows the Holy Father’s direction that we make good use of our digital presence in the world by making it easy to access the important ideals of the Catholic faith online and through television, radio, and print media. CCC provides content the way you need it, in podcasts for daily readings, on websites to connect with other faithful, and on social networking sites. Please be generous in this week’s Collection and support this important work. Remember, half of your donations stay in our (arch)diocese to support our communication needs. CCC is how the Good News gets around to you.

MONTHLY MESSAGE

Those first few weeks after the death of your loved one (or other major loss) are confusing and hectic.  You may encounter myths such as:

1. All grieve the same way.

2. In 2 months your grief is over.

3. Once resolved your grief never returns.

4. You will eventually return to normal.

5. Don’t feel sorry for yourself.

6. Don’t be angry at your loved

one.

7. Protect the children from death

& grief.

8. Relationships end at death.

9. Get over your loss and move on.

10. Grief is defined by predictable stages. 

In the months ahead we will explore these myths and learn more about the grieving process together.

If the  messages don’t seem to fit right now, lay them aside and reread them at a later time.  Many people are praying for you.  May you be strengthened by these prayers.

Peace & comfort,

The HRSR Faith Community, Staff. and Bereavement Ministers
