Join us at the Delta Library for HopeWest’s Bereavement Book Club. Topics include death, dying, grief, and mourning through the discussion of various forms of literature, including nonfiction, fiction, memoir, humor, and poetry. Each month, you can check out the assigned book from the library and then join a moderated group discussion about the book. Ultimately, our shared experience of missing our loved ones helps us to heal. The group meets the third Thursday of every month from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at Delta Library.

This book club is moderated by Claire Dauwe, HopeWest Bereavement & Youth Coordinator.
