News Release

FORT WAYNE — The Peggy F. Murphy Community Grief Center has three programs coming up in May.

The grief center is located at 5920 Homestead Road in Fort Wayne.

May programs include:

Invisible Ink

“Invisible Ink” is a writing program that will meet from 3:30-5 p.m. Thursdays from May 8-29 at the Community Grief Center. It is for anyone who needs a gently guided outlet to express and process their grief. Created and facilitated by author Kathy Curtis, the program provides writing prompts each week, in which participants write about specific feelings in letters to their loved one. Over the course of four weeks, participants share a progressive journey of healing together, which adds to the power of the process. Past participants have said that Kathy’s book, “Invisible Ink: Reaching Out to Loved Ones in Spirit,” is a helpful preface to the program, but it is not required reading. For continued participation, attendance the first week is required. Registration is available online at https://linktr.ee/pfmgriefcenter. Registration is required by Friday, May 2.

MELT Method

“MELT” is an easy-to-learn, gentle self-massage treatment method that helps restore your nervous system and release stuck stress. Ease chronic pain and stiffness and manage stress that can come alongside grief. The program will take place from 3:30-5 p.m. Monday, May 12, at the grief center. Registration is available online at https://linktr.ee/pfmgriefcenter. Registration is required by Wednesday, May 7.

Memories Of Mom
