What is LifeSteps™ ? The unique 6-week LifeSteps™ workshops afford the surviving spouse, companion, parent, child, sibling or friend of someone who has passed on the opportunity to come together with others who have experienced loss, in a small group setting.

LifeSteps™ is a set of six weekly workshops designed to encourage healing for those who have lost a loved one. In this small group setting, we will share practical tips and expert advice on healing through your own journey through grief. Pet therapy is available during each workshop courtesy of FurEver as Friends. Participants have found these workshops to be therapeutic and helpful on their journey to their “new normal.”

Registering is easy. Workshops are free, but space is limited.

Please register by contacting: Elisha Elliott the Community Outreach Manager at elisha.elliott@mcgfuneral.com.
