What is a Grief Support Group?
Grief support groups bring people together who have an important commonality: All have experienced the death of someone close to them. Grief support groups provide an accepting environment in which the bereaved can talk about their loss, surrounded by others who have endured similar pain, and learn and heal through the grief process.
Grief Share is a professionally facilitated group that meets weekly. Those who attend are encouraged to use the support system of the group to help them as they progress through their grief.
This group is offered to the entire community and there is no fee for this service.
The bereavement services of Susie Bowling Lawrence Hospice can help you cope with death and grief. If you are interested in additional information regarding the grieving process and the expected emotional reactions, please call our office at 684-6137
