To: Deacons, religious brothers and sisters, parish communicators and bulletin editors
From: Vanessa Russell, CEO, Catholic Charities Atlanta

We are here to help you cope and navigate the stages of grief and loss by providing a safe space to share experiences and find support—you are not alone. Symptoms of grief can include regret, anger, guilt, anxiety and sadness. 

  • Have you experienced the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job? 
  • Have you been diagnosed with a terminal illness or have a chronic medical condition which greatly impacts the quality of your life? 
  • Have you relocated and left behind friends and family? 

CCA’s Grief and Loss Support Group, led by a team of clinicians, aims to normalize your feelings and emotions and guide you through the stages of grief in a supportive and uplifting environment. We provide you with healthy coping skills to navigate your own personal journey, while you share and learn from others in an open and non-judgmental space.  

The Grief and Loss Support Group meets online on the first and third Mondays of the month from 12 – 1 p.m. from September 15, 2025 – April 20, 2026. Fee is $10.
