WOMEN WARRIORS
Women Warriors is a group of women who have lost their husbands recently, or awhile ago. Nobody understands what you are going through except others who have lost their spouses.
This group meets the third Thursday of each month at 5pm at Easter Lutheran Church on the Hill (4200 Pilot Knob Rd, Eagan, MN 55122).
Join us and learn how to navigate the stages of grief, find your way through everything that needs to get done, and live a new independent life. Kris Palfe and Kay Owens, co-facilitators, and the other women are here to help. You don't have to go through this alone.
Questions? Please email Jennifer Peloquin at jpeloquin@easter.org.
