Grief Support Group
Mondays, 6:30 – 8 PM, Virtual
Grief is a deeply personal journey, and there is no timeline for healing. If you are an adult who is struggling with the loss of a loved one, we welcome you to join with others in a supportive, judgement-free, online space to process the grief together. We will work toward understanding grief, honoring our loved ones, and moving forward in our own lives. You don’t have to navigate the loss alone.
