Grief Support Group
Grief support groups offer companionship and understanding
from others who have experienced a similar loss, and are
experiencing the similar challenges that living with grief brings.
Support groups give you the opportunity to share your story
openly and guilt-free. You also have the opportunity to hear the
stories of others and talk about coping day-to-day, as well as
on the most difficult days of our grief journeys. The grief
support group will provide a safe place for you to share in an
informal and comforting conversation about the loss of your
loved one with others who are experiencing similar grief. Join us
the 1 st & 3 rd Tuesdays, from 10:00am-11:30am to build your
support system. There is no cost to attend this group, but
please register by calling the front desk at [phone].
