About the Presenter(s)
Bruce Parrish
Bruce Parrish, has been a long-time member and is now a co-facilitator for the St. Charles Grief Support Group, where I shared my own grief journey with learned wisdom and grace. In June 2021, I embraced retirement and began enjoying “retired life” by working in the vibrant wine industry. Throughout all the ebbs and flows of life, grief has been a constant companion. This grief has taught me the profound lesson of compassion for others, shaping the person I am today.
