Everyone knows there are three keys to a happy life… but no one ever seems to agree on what they are.

Here’s what our Grief Connection group discovered together:

🔑 Love — in all its forms. Loving, knowing, and accepting yourself. Loving family, friends, pets, and community. Giving and receiving care. If grief is love with nowhere to go, then staying open to love matters deeply.
🔑 Presence — being here for the life you’re in. Breathing. Noticing the morning sun. Walking in the woods. Finding joy in small moments. Accepting that you’re doing the best you can.
🔑 Connection — staying in touch with friends, being part of something bigger, helping others, laughing together, sharing time, talent, and treasure.

And sprinkled throughout it all: kindness, humor, courage to try new things, gentleness with ourselves…
and, of course, 🍫 chocolate (sometimes more than once).

What are your keys?

Join us in our drop-in grief support group, Grief Connection, 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, 9:30 am -11:00 am at Oshtemo Community Center, 6407 Parkview, Kalamazoo, MI 49009. CentricaCare.org/series/grief-connection-in-person/

Centrica Care Navigators Grief Support will host a Parent Loss Group monthly starting on February 4, 2026. This group will be held on the first Wednesday of each month from 5:15 to 6:30 at Stadium Drive. Pre-Registration is encouraged.

This group will offer education, support, and resources for individuals who have experienced the death of a parent or parental figure. Participants can connect with others who truly “get it” and find steadier ground during a time of deep change. Guided by an experienced facilitator, the group provides a safe, respectful, and supportive environment to explore the challenges of grief, learn healthy coping strategies, and discover the strength that comes from shared experiences.

If you would like more information, please call us at 269.345.0273 or head to our website: CentricaCare.org/series/parent-loss-montly-group/

We are deeply grateful to share this meaningful moment at Centrica Rose Arbor Place in Kalamazoo.

Barb Martin and the Rose Arbor team received a donation of beautiful handmade quilts from a local Kalamazoo Quilting Guild. Each quilt was lovingly crafted in memory of a dear friend and fellow quilter who spent her final days surrounded by love and compassionate care at Rose Arbor Place last year.

This heartfelt gift honors her life and serves as a thank you to our care team for the dignity, comfort, and compassion they provided. We extend our sincere appreciation to these talented quilters and to the Centrica Rose Arbor Place staff for reflecting the heart of our mission at Centrica Care Navigators.

01/01/2026

May this year close with moments of quiet appreciation and reflection for all that has been given and all that has been learned. As the new year arrives, may it be met with softness, open hearts, and opportunities to restore energy and purpose.

As we step forward together, we invite you to pause, care for yourself, and stay connected with Centrica Care Navigators as we continue supporting individuals and families with compassion in the year ahead.
