  • Living with Grief

    “Grief is as natural as the setting of the sun and as elemental as gravity.  Grief is a complex but perfectly natural—and necessary—mixture of human emotions.”  Alan Wolfelt
    We know that you and your family have experienced the death of a loved one within the last two years and live with the accompanying grief.   We know that it is important to continue to acknowledge the reality of this loss and to surround yourself with support through family, friends, communities of faith and through other resources.  
    As one of those resources, we want to extend an invitation to you for a “Living with Grief” meeting that will gather the first Tuesday afternoon of each month from 4-5:15 pm at Boulger Funeral Home.  You can come one time, or many times, or occasionally.  The time will be facilitated by Boulger Funeral Home’s Grief Support Coordinators.  
    Meetings will be held on Tuesday, June 4, 2013 at 4:00-5:15 PM and again at 6:00 PM.
    The next meetings will be July 2.
    Please let family members or friends know about these gatherings if you feel it might be helpful.  We want to make this open to all walking with grief.  If you have questions please call Boulger at 701-237-6441 or email at griefsupport@                                       boulgerfuneralhome.com
