What's your grief? Author Alan D. Wolfelt says, "Hearts break for many reasons. All are real, valid, and painful."
According to Dr. Wolfelt, "heartbreakers" can include a death of a loved one, loss of pet, break-ups, lost or broken dreams, leaving home, abuse, just to name a few. Using guidance from his book, First Aid For Broken Hearts, you will find that you do not need to suffer grief all alone. Some people need to talk about their grief. Others may want to be private about their grief, but still be close with those who grieve. This is a space in which to honor your unique grief and to help with mending your heart.
To sign up, please go to Canvas and find this group under Counseling Services Resources: Grief Support Group: First Aid for Broken Hearts.

ESU Special Collections and Archives celebrates National Translation Month with a reading from the Odyssey by award-winning translator Stanley Lombardo. Attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer, the Odyssey tells the story of the hero Odysseus as he strives to return home to his family after the Trojan War. On the way, he encounters many obstacles, including a man-eating giant, a scheming enchantress, and a pair of dangerous sea monsters, before finally being reunited with his wife and son.
