Those Left Coping (TLC) began as a support group in 2006. After a handful of St. Stephen parishioners completed a formal grief group at another church, some needed more support due to complicated losses.
TLC is a part of our Bereavement Ministry. Every loss is unique. While most are able to work through this difficult journey with the help of family and friends, there are those who need more help. That is where TLC comes in. We are available to listen and direct those in need to many church, community, even military resources in our area, hopefully helping to make the bereavement journey more bearable.
Several times over the past few years, our church has referred “walk-ins” to TLC. Many people come to our area knowing no one or not having a support system. We have been able to help and in many cases, there are testimonies of healing and return to faith practice.
One of the Spiritual Works of Mercy is “Comfort the Sorrowful”. Are you available to do so?
We need your occasional help.
Please contact TLC@ststephencatholic.org if you are in need of assistance.
