Coping with life alone

“Beginning Experience”
October 9 – December 18, 2015
Billings, MT

What if the worst thing you think could happen, does, and you are widowed, separated or divorced? What if life changes in the blink of an eye? How do you cope? How do you deal with the grief, loss and pain? It’s not easy. It hurts….but you don’t have to hurt alone. The truth is no one has to suffer alone and although life may never be the same, it can be good again.

Beginning Experience (BE) International Ministry, Inc., offers a continuum of programs to help those who have lost a love relationship due to death, divorce or separation move through the experience of grief and loss into a future with renewed hope. Founded by a Catholic nun and her divorced friend, the BE programs serve those of all faiths.

FOR THOSE WHOSE LOSS IS RECENT: ‘Coping with Life Alone’ is a pre-weekend support group which meets each week for ten weeks. It is intended for those whose loss is fairly recent and those who have not had an opportunity to work through the initial pain of loss and who are not yet ready to attend the Beginning Experience Weekend. The sessions in Coping with Life Alone focus on such topics as grief process, changes in family and other relationships, trust and coping with memories of your deceased spouse or dealing with your ex-spouse.

Beginning Experience of Central Montana will be starting the 10 week ‘Coping with Life Alone’ program, October 9 – December 18, 2015. This group program will be held on Friday evenings, 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. The program is held at The Center for Children and Families, 3021 3rd Avenue N., Billings, MT.

Beginning Experience (BE) offers a weekend program and it is designed to be a time of closure on the past and new beginning in the present. Those who come should be beyond the initial feelings of anger and despair. Attendees should be at the point of wanting a new beginning and ready to work to make that desire a reality. The next BE Weekend is scheduled for April 8-10, 2016. If you would like additional information, visit beginningexperience.org.
