Please note: due to Melbourne Cup holiday, the November meeting will be held the second Tuesday of the month.
The Book Club is an opportunity to discuss books that we’ve read which explore grief and
bereavement. We will also look at books that examine subjects such as self-care and spirituality through the lens of grief. Furthermore, the Book Club offers the opportunity to explore what’s available at the TCFV Library.
