Climbing the Mountain of Grief: Youth Support Group
Young people who experience the death of a loved one often feel alone and experience grief differently than adults. Grief facilitators help youth work through their grief following their own natural grieving patterns. Through age-appropriate activities, participants learn to accept the reality of the loss, express feelings in appropriate ways, commemorate the life that is finished, and learn to go on with life and loving.

Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman
Join us in a very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance as a facilitator uses a workbook and teaching video sessions by Beth Moore to peel back the layers of history and shows how applicable the story of Esther is to our lives today. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, it's tough today. If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the Bible study for you.

Hope After Loss Organization - HALO
When babies come into our lives and are too quickly and quietly gone, they leave lasting footprints on our hearts. At St. Nicholas Hospital, we believe those lives are precious and should be honored and remembered no matter how brief their life was. HALO is a Pregnancy Loss and Newborn Death Support Program created to support parents and their families in whatever stage of pregnancy loss they find themselves; miscarriage, ectopic, stillbirth, or early newborn death. Caring support is offered whether the loss is sudden and unexpected, or needed because the baby has an anomaly not compatible with life outside the womb. If the mother wants to carry the baby to term, however long that may be, support and help is provided to her as she continues to provide a hospice for her baby. For more information about this program, please contact Cori Salchert RN, Certified Pregnancy Loss Counselor at 920-451-7572.
