Supportive Grief Group
A place for connection, recollection, community, and healing
Grief is a natural reaction to loss. Although we don’t choose to experience grief, we can choose to connect and heal in community. You may be here because you feel alone in your grief, others expect you to be "over it" by now, and you don't know what to do with your emotions. You may even be unsure about joining a group- that is normal and okay! These are amongst the many normal reactions to grief.
This outpatient bereavement group offers a supportive, confidential space to share, reflect, and begin moving forward at your own pace.​
