Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare will host its next monthly bereavement support group, Growing Together, on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 4-6 pm, at The Barn Restaurant (877 W. Main St., Smithville, OH 44677). 

The group is for those who have lost a loved one. Growing Together meets the third Tuesday of each month for a meal and to enjoy the fellowship of others who also have experienced the loss of a loved one. 

“This is a time to connect with others who are on a similar journey,” said Lynn Lilly, bereavement counseling professional at Ohio’s Hospice LifeCare. “We reminisce, laugh and forge new relationships.” 

All who have lost a loved one are welcome to attend. For more information, call 937.264.4899.
