Our Bereavement Support Group is here for those suffering the loss of any loved one. We offer the guidance of a professional facilitator as well as the support and understanding of others experiencing grief. We meet twice a month on Thursday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. There is no cost involved. A guidance professional facilitator will be present for those that have recently experienced a loss of a loved one.

We encourage those who have recently experienced a death of a loved one or those who continue in the process of bereavement to attend this gathering of care and support. Members have personally experienced a death within their family and know the hurt, pain, and loneliness that emerges when someone we love is no longer part of our lives.
