stacked stonesIf you have experienced a personal loss, the Grieving the Loss of a Loved One Bereavement Group welcomes you.

Open to adults of all ages and traditions who have experienced the recent loss of a loved one, this eight-week grief support group offers a space to find connection, understanding, and support within a caring community.

Together, we will explore the grieving process, share experiences, and gently build tools for navigating difficult emotions such as loneliness, loss, and isolation. The group also offers guidance on how to carry grief while beginning to re-engage with life in meaningful ways.

Pre-registration is required, and we request your commitment to attending all eight sessions when you enroll. The cost is $120 for the series. Please note, no one is turned away for lack of funds.
