Get Hope and Encouragement with Loss

Coping with the death of a loved one is often a painful and traumatic experience. Participating in a bereavement group allows those who have experienced a loss can give people the emotional connection with others who have experienced a similar loss.
This six-week support group will give participants an opportunity to share the myriad facets of grief, learn coping strategies to help them better understand their reactions and feelings, and move through their grief with the support and encouragement of others.
Haven is a non-denominational support program that honors and respects all spiritual beliefs. The group is open to anyone who has experienced the death of someone they love, whether the deceased was a parent, child, relative or friend.
Pre-registration is required and participants are encouraged attend all six sessions to maximize their experience and healing.
