You may experience a time in your grief when you find comfort in sharing with others who are also experiencing the same feeling of loss. Groups address such issues as anger, guilt, processing the pain of grief, commemorating loved ones and identity loss/redefining oneself—among many others. Ample time is provided for sharing and discussion among group members. Daytime Group Contact: The Rev. Dr. Sally L. Harbold at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

It is based on the ancient practice of mindfulness, which is about waking up, being fully alive, and being present in the richness of each moment. Within this awakening, we gain access to our deepest inner resources for living, healing and coping with stress. Participants will practice present moment awareness, deep relaxation and gentle movement. Through the use of these techniques, a person learns to discover and observe his or her reactions to life's stressors and to choose how to respond. With practice, one can apply these skills to everyday situations and connect more fully with one's self, loved ones and the life one is living. Information about the program can be found on the Duke Integrative Medicine FAQ page, www.dukeintegrativemedicine.org/classes-workshops-and-education/mbsr-faqs.
