A free weekly support circle led by Emily Kahn, MSW, offers a welcoming space for anyone seeking companionship, compassionate understanding, and community while navigating loss. As part of the Bloomsburg Public Library social work team, Emily brings years of experience supporting people through end of life matters and works to make conversations about death and dying more comfortable. Sessions will include bibliotherapy, using books and stories to support mental health and healing. Grief, including anticipatory grief, is deeply personal, yet many people find it easier to carry when shared. Emotions can rise and fall in nonlinear ways, and feelings of confusion, surprise, or isolation are common. There are also practical tasks to manage, such as finances, wills, and death certificates, which can feel overwhelming but are familiar to others who have faced similar losses. This program is not religious. People of all faiths or none are welcome to speak from their own experience. Confidentiality is required, and anything shared in the group must remain within the group. Emily is also available for one-on-one appointments. Contact emily@bloomsburgpl.org or call 570-784-0883.
