Addiction Recovery Ministry
One valuable lesson learned over the past few generations is that people with similar pain can be very good for each other. The expansive growth of AA is probably the largest example, but there are many others. Anyone that has ever lost a child knows how helpful others can be who have time spent in the club in which no one wants membership. Those who have lost a family member or friend because of an addiction have a uniqueness to their grief and thus far, not many groups have been created for this specific pain.
Addiction Recovery Ministry (ARM) is running a grief group for family members or friends who have lost a loved one because of overdose or addiction. Our discussion will be framed by the video Among the Many. We will strive to offer hope to anyone grieving such a tragic loss.
Weekly meetings will begin on Thursday, February 27th and end on April10th, and take place in the DePalma Room from 7:00 -8:30 PM. If you or someone you know has experienced this tragedy, please invite them. For more info, contact Deacon Tim Noca at 412-607-8328 or by email at tnoca@diopitt.org.
