MONTHLY GATHERINGS
Grief Support Group
The Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation sponsors a monthly support group for Mothers who have lost a child. Mothers (regardless of age or circumstance) are invited to gather on the second Tuesday of each month from 6:30 - 8:00 PM at Manasquan Lighting, 126 Main Street, Manasquan, NJ 08736.
There is no charge for these support groups. The group has been formed to operate as a safe, non-judgmental gathering place for Moms to share and listen.
Meetings are facilitated by Martha Kalakutok and Debbie Gallucci, certified bereavement counselors with significant experience in grief counseling.
