The Common Ground of Grief is a series of monthly 90-minute sessions consisting of a 60-minute grief education presentation, followed by a 30-minute period of questions and answers. The sessions are free and will be held the first Wednesday of each month from April to December at the Cousins Center.

All presentations are made by Patrick V. Dean, M.Ed., Director of Grief Education Services for Archdiocese of Milwaukee Catholic Cemeteries & Founder of the Wisconsin Grief Education Center.

A monthly Open Support Group for people surviving a loss will be facilitated by Patrick Dean on the second Wednesday from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at the Family Center at Holy Cross Cemetery at 7301 W. Nash Street in Milwaukee as an adjunct to the Common Ground of Grief presentations. The first meeting will be on Wednesday, April 13. There is no charge to attend these group meetings.
