• Taking Care of Yourself During the Journey of Grief

The Hope & Healing group provides a safe venue for sharing experiences, discussing key challenges, and learning about positive coping strategies along the grief journey.

These sessions are designed to help adult grievers understand the many nuances of grief, help them with processing the pain, and help them adjust to a world without their loved one. During the Hope & Healing group, participants will identify and process many of the ways that grief presents itself.

It is not necessary to share openly in a group setting to receive support. The weekly curriculum and insights from others can generate hope and clarification for one’s own grief experience.
