We understand that this is a difficult time and we hope that the following information is relevant to you.
Interim:
“Walking together through loss” We are a church-based group but there is no expectation of any affiliation or belief
Interim is a group for people who have been recently bereaved. We are for that “in-between” time, that time between familiarity of life shared with another, and readiness to take up a different life, alone. This is a time change, of maybe the most difficult adjustment of your life.
Interim meet on the second and forth Thursday’s of each month between 10.30am – 12 noon at the Broadwater Parish Centre, 117 Broadwater Road, Worthing, BN14 8HT. Please contact 01903 823916 or email to office@broadwaterparish.com
