‘The hierarchy of human needs is still the necessity for companionship, and connectedness.?
After the loss of a mate, after friends and relatives stop calling to check on how we are doing, after loneliness sets in, after we realize that it is time to go on with life, what’s next?
The Orion Center, located on Joslyn Road just south of Clarkston Road, is offering an On with Life/ Solutions for Loneliness series for area widowers and widows.
Sessions will be held on April 3 and May 1 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
There will be speakers, area activities information, an opportunity to meet other widowers and widows who share your interests, answers for loneliness and practical issues.
This series, along with classes, groups, card games, and membership in the Orion Center are free.
