A Monthly Grief Support Group
Classes are held monthly every second Thursday of the month.
Our Grief and Bereavement Support Group is a monthly grief support group offering a compassionate space for individuals who are navigating loss. This group welcomes those grieving the death of a family member, friend, partner, pet, or other meaningful loss.
Grief can feel isolating, especially when it does not follow a clear timeline. This support group provides a steady, structured environment where participants are invited to share, reflect, or simply sit in the presence of others who understand.
This is not therapy, but a facilitated space for grief processing and shared witnessing.
What to Expect
- A calm, respectful group setting
- Clear participation guidelines to support safety and structure
- No fixing, advising, or crosstalk
- Invitation to share at your own pace
- Space for silence, reflection, or listening
- Occasional optional ritual or symbolic release practices
Sharing is always voluntary. Participants are encouraged to engage in ways that feel supportive and manageable.
How This Fits Into Your Care Pathway
This grief support group can complement therapy or other forms of care, or serve as a standalone support for those seeking community while grieving.
