BROOKINGS — Brookings Health System’s free six-week educational series, Understanding Grief, will begin Aug. 29. The class series is led by social worker Donna Bumann.

Sessions will be Thursdays through Oct. 10 from 1:15 to 2:30 p.m. at Brookings Health System’s Conference Room C. There will be no class on Sept. 19.

The classes are designed to help those who have lost a loved one learn about the process of grief and how to navigate it.
