Group Support
Engaging With Others That Are Grieving…
Taking Time support groups offer the opportunity for the bereaved to be with others who have experienced the death of a loved one or person who was important in their lives. Members meet on a regular basis and find that they are not alone. This common bond provides the opportunity for the group members to express feelings, listen, share, and learn from each other in a confidential and comfortable setting. Grief support groups provide emotional support, validation, and education about grief. The opportunity for members to help each other often brings strength, confidence, meaningful connections, and a new sense of purpose.
