For those experiencing grief and loss

“Grief Watch” is an umbrella term that covers all of the efforts by residents of the Peace House and other Metanoians to give spiritual, emotional and other support to people who are grieving, and to address the systemic injustices within our society which give people reason to grieve.

Grief Watch is also a publishing enterprise, publishing books DVDs, and other resources and distributing these throughout the world by means of a mail order distribution system operating out of the 18th Ave Peace House.  Pat Schwiebert is director of this program which is also staffed by several full and part-time, paid employees and  volunteers on stipend (after the manner of VISTA or Jesuit volunteers). Income from the sale of resources helps support other ministries within and beyond Metanoia Peace Community.

Grief Watch's companion program, called Perinatal Loss, sponsors several local "Brief Encounter" Groups for parents whose unborn, stillborn or newborn infants have died, and hosts meetings of Parent of Murdered Children and Suicide Bereavement Support.
