	Valir Hospice and First Baptist Church of Oklahoma City have teamed up to offer free grief support group sessions at the downtown church. Participants of all ages and in all stages of the grief process who have suffered loss in the past 12 months are invited to attend. Orientation and information sessions will be held August 20 and 26 at 6:30 pm in the conference room across from the church office at N.W. 12th and Robinson. Guests should park on the north side of the building near the playground area. Registration closes September 10, and support group sessions will run September 10 through December 10. "The loss of a loved one can impact a person's life for years," said Rev. Beth Ogburn, bereavement coordinator for Valir and group leader. "We have enlisted numerous chaplains, counselors and others to assist us in helping participants work through their feelings and get their lives back in balance. Support groups can make a real difference in the process. We invite anyone who has experienced loss this year to participate with us."
