Join us to be with Grief in a community of support

Time: Tuesdays 5:30-7:00PM

The passing of a loved one can be the start of a difficult new chapter in our lives. Grief can make us feel out of step with the social world as we work through unexpected thoughts and feelings. When those in grief meet, we can support each other as peers who understand, creating a safe space for expressing feelings. Together, the group can transform difficult emotions into the next steps of life.
