Divorced/Widowed

Joyful Again

This event is for widows and widowers who want to find joy in living again.  Joyful Again is a two day program for widows and widowers who want to resolve the grief they feel inside and begin to live again after the death of their spouse.  Participants will find that there are others who understand what they are feeling.  Anyone who has lost a spouse through death is welcome to attend, even if it has been years since the death.  Those widowed less than four months are not encouraged to attend since they will find their loss is still too fresh in their minds and hearts.  Though there is a religious basis to the presentations, persons of any religious affiliation are welcome.  "Joyful Again" is based on the belief that with God's help all things are possible and that through Him we can help ourselves and each other.  For information about retreats or to register, call the Marriage and Family Life Department, (850) 435-3532 or email at michieb@ptdiocese.org.  Fee to cover costs of books, materials, and food will be $50.  Schedule for includes, to date:
