Care Givers Support Group

This blessing will not fix you, will not mend you, will not give you false comfort; it will not talk to you about one door opening when another one closes. It will simply sit itself beside you among the shards and gently turn your face toward the direction from which the light will come, gathering itself about you as the world begins again.―Jan Richardson

Care Givers Support Group | Led by Nancy Malmuth
Anyone that may be care-giving or is grieving from the loss of loved one is welcome. Caregivers meet the first and third Thursday of every month in the UU Santa Fe Library at 3 pm. We are NOT a therapy group, only support. If you are thinking of joining, contact Nancy Malmuth, 505.983.0129 or 505.699.2398, who will meet with you and help determine if this group is a good fit for you.​
