Grief Support Group

Tuesday, April 4th at 10:30am

 

The loss of a spouse or partner is often one of the hardest losses we will encounter. Our lives turn upside down. You ask yourself, “How will I survive and feel all alone?” You are not alone. This group will offer a safe and private space for you to learn from others and understand that there are others sharing this similar experience. The group is peer to peer support with a trained peer facilitator from the Brian Dagle Foundation.

 

This group meets the first Tuesday of each month at the Senior Center.

Please register with the Senior Center.
